Every night, my child and I would pray together before we sleep. But last night, I asked him to say a short prayer after me; and this is what he said very quietly, "Lord, please love Mama." I remember our short Bible story that morning. Jesus was angry with the merchants selling in the temple, and He drove them away. In that same narrative (from 101 Favorite Stories from the Bible), it said, "soon the children saw Jesus doing good deeds in the temple. These innocent little ones always loved Jesus. They cried out over and over, 'Hosanna to the Son of David!' (implying: God help the Messiah)."
Children really are precious. I wrote an article in The Canadian Schoolhouse about working and homeschooling with little kids. Please check it out!
