Become Like a Child

Mt 18:2 He called a little child and had him stand among them.
Mt 18:3 And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Aren't Easter Egg hunts fun?!! You never know what you are going to find. Each egg contains it's own special treasure. It's exciting, thrilling even!! For that moment in time the only thing you are focused on is where the eggs are hiding. It's also a fun way to spend time with others.

I am a part of a women's ministry and we organized a Promise Egg Hunt. All of the eggs that were hidden, had promises in them from the Bible. The idea had come to me on my walk one day. When I received this information from Spirit, I saw in my head a bunch of women running around in an egg hunt behaving as children, and having a blast. A way to bring back some of the childhood wonderment into our lives. The thought had also come to my mind that the way that we would seek out these eggs in the hunt, is the very way that God wants us to seek Him. He wants us to be present in the moment with Him. Not thinking about 10000 other things. He also wants us to have fun with Him.

Some people, once they reach a certain age feel they can no longer do these types of things without looking stupid, or they are just too old to be bothered by that kind of "stuff". I simply refuse to grow up. I see the world as a playground. I truly feel we need these types of times to encourage our creative sides, and to bring a little more joy to our lives, and to the lives of others. Life is too short to be so serious. Lighten up, and go do something childish!!

I was unable to attend the hunt the day that we had it. I was super bummed that I would not be able to see if the child inside of the women would come out as I felt it would in my Spirit. I asked one of the ladies if everyone seemed to enjoy it or did it seem stupid to them.. I was thrilled when she sent me this picture:



Doesn't she look beautiful!? Look at that glowing smile!! It warms my heart every time I see this picture. Jesus knew what He was talking about "as usual". Approach His Kingdom as child, and your heart will glow as her smile is in this picture.

Thank you Shelli for making the vision a reality, when I was unable to do so. I am truly blessed to have all of you ladies in my life.
