Kids


I love being around kids, I’m not really sure why maybe it’s because I’m still a kid in this 40 year old fat body I don’t know. I know love seeing them learn, I love it when you can see the light come on when they get something for the first time, it might be a play in sports like when they understand this why we run it this way. I love to see their eyes when you are talking to them about God and you can see deep down in them and know God is speaking to their hearts and they are getting it. As much as I love being around them and teaching them, they teach me so much, their honesty, I love it when you have to cut them off when they are telling family business, hey they are just being honest. As I mentioned above about my fat body, I love it when one will come up and pat me on the belly and say hey Santa Clause or something to that effect. Hey they are just being honest my belly is to big.
Simply put I’ve had a rough past month and a half, I’ve been crazy sick, head aches, cough, fever, body aches and pains I just haven’t been able to kick it. I think I may have pushed to hard and should have rested sooner. Work is tough I work with criminals everyday so I see the worst in folks everyday and it gets tough sometimes. I’ve had some of that family business to deal with also. Anyway I’ve just been in a physical, spiritual, mental and emotional blah for about the past 6 weeks.
As simple as this may seem one of my little buddies has helped me snap out of it and he didn’t say anything to me. His Mom told me he asked her was I ok and that he was worried about me that I hadn’t been acting right. Her telling me that was just like a thump on the head by God saying, Hey Barry it’s time you snapped out of this. Like I said as simple as it seems it has helped, it helped a lot I’ve had one of the best days I had in weeks today and it was basically just an attitude change that did it. God thank you for the little children what a blessing they are and they can teach us so much.

Mark 10:14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
