When my boys were toddlers and preschoolers, we lived in a ranch style home in Cozad, Nebraska. The patio door looked out onto the small backyard where the sandbox and the swing set resided. On increment weather days, Daniel and Caleb would stand at the patio door, hands and noses pressed to the glass, longing to go out and run their trucks through the sand or climb onto the swing set. I do not claim to be a meticulous housekeeper, but I did use a fair amount of Windex and rags on that patio door! So many prints!
This week, I was reminded of that as I heard the song, “Fingerprints and Noses” by Newsong for the first time. A friend on FB posted a video where he did an awesome job of singing it and commenting on the lyrics. I invite you all to listen to the song now from Newsong.
As I listened, it made me ask if I have the same hopeful anticipation of these children. Do I believe without a doubt that if He says He’s coming, He is?
Father God…give me this childlike faith. Bless these little ones that display it so well and help me to learn the lessons they so willingly teach me. Amen
Until next time…keep on readin’ and I’ll keep on writin’.
