I read this today, and I was touched by it, and I hope it touches you too!

Are You Starting To Forget?



There's a beautiful story about a little boy who couldn't wait for his new baby sister to come home from the hospital. He couldn't wait to be near her, to talk to her. But his parents didn't want him to be left alone with her. After all he was only four years old, so they wanted to supervise his visits. He kept begging to be alone with her, so one night his parents finally relented. The boy tiptoed into her room, stood next to his sister's crib and said: "Tell me about God--I'm starting to forget."



There are times when we as adults get so caught up in the "rat race" and all of our responsibilities. Perhaps we need to go to the children around us and say, "Tell me about God--I'm starting to forget."



From Alan Smith, "Thought for the Day"

A timely reminder Linda and a beautiful one at that. As they say, 'out of the mouths of babes'. Nice posting Linda, beautifully done.
