Today I'm thankful for the cross (as always) but in particular a small plastic gold colored one that hung around the neck of one of my 4 year olds. Some mornings when the kids are still tired when I get there we will all sit together in circle time and slowly wake up. Today was one of those days. One of my little boys, whom I'll just say isn't known for always being on his best behavior was laying down on the rug next to two of my other boys who are known just as he is. Well my one little boy mentioned first had on this little plastic cross around his neck. It intrigued me, I never in a million years would have pegged him for being a child to wear a cross, yet it made me smile...little did I know! He proceeded to roll onto his side facing the two other boys and said..."Did you know God died on the cross!?!" and thats all that was said on the matter. I smiled, knowing today was going to be a VERY blessed day, and indeed it was.
How awesome that here I struggle day to day to be Christ's light to my children, and today...one of them was His light for me. Praise God for this little plastic necklace that would open my eyes to see that Christ IS making an impact on these children's lives, and I get the honor to bare witness to it. I'm humbled beyond all comprehension.
What are you thankful for?
