Children: God's Gift
Robert Dawson
Psalm 127
A young couple had been married a few years. One day the husband came home from work to find his wife waiting at the door with a great big hug and kiss with a huge smile on her face. A little taken back the husband asked what was going on. She said she had a big surprise for him. The wife looked at her husband still grinning from ear to ear just giddy with excitement and said, ''Soon we will not be the only two people living in this house!'' Her husband swept her off her feet, swung her around, hugged her and kissed her and said, ''You have made me the happiest man alive!''

1. I can picture Jesus as He walked the shores of Galilee and people flocking to Him. As he entered a town I can picture little children just tagging along just watching what this great teacher and miracle worker was going to do.
2. I can picture parents bringing their children to Him to see Him, be touched by Him or be blessed by Him. He enjoyed every minute of it.
3. He delighted in them - allowed them into His presence even when othe ...
