If you have spent some time with little children, you quickly come to recognize how they truly enjoy life. A toddler lives with a transparency that expresses their wants and emotions, putting them out there for everyone to see.
My thirteen month old granddaughter knows exactly where to go to get the Rice Chex cereal when she wants a snack. When she is thirsty, she points and yells for my cup of water. At the mere sight of pasta, she wants to sit and partake.
At the sound of music, she begins to dance without caring if anyone is looking, in complete and utter abandon and enjoyment of the music.
And Jesus says to us:
“I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 18:3, NLT)
The phrase has been stuck in my thoughts for days ”“ “like little children.” Jesus calls us to become like little children but what does this mean?
I hope you will join me at Woman To Woman Ministries HERE to look at three qualities of children that can impact our prayer lives.

I love how toddlers dance without abandon. And, I worry I can’t do the two-step!!!! My website is fixed!!!
Yay!! So glad you are back up! You should see my littlest granddaughter dance!! She is the best! So much for us to learn from our little ones!
Our 2 years old grandson is hilarious. He remembers exactly where the applesauce is located at our home. He says “I love applesauce at Mimi and Bop’s house.” 🙂 Precious.
They truly are precious and give us wonderful memories. Love that you are Mimi and Bop!! We are Mimi & Poppy 🙂
