Little Proclamations of Faith

They always say it’s the little things that make your heart feel a little less heavy and that make your frustrations turn to a smile. Today, it was my daughter. Riding in their car seats on the way to school, the kids were quiet as I was driving, distracted and disgruntled thinking about work, school, life… When, suddenly, my daughter, Lulu, enthusiastically announced “Jesus!” and then, “It’s Jesus song”, and startled me out of my distraction. So, I said, “yes, they are talking about Jesus on the radio, huh?”, which was happily followed by her singing, “Jesus loves me…” (one of her current favorites). A proud mommy moment right there. And, for the remaining 2 minutes of our drive, a smile was drawn across my face as I thought about just how blessed and thankful I am to have my two beautiful, loving children, who remind me that happiness CAN be quite simple. God’s promise is undoubtedly filled through the lives, innocence and insight of little children and their affirmations/proclamations of faith…
