July 18 – “A guest blogster”

Today Cailyn is here so she is going to write the blog entry.  She first wanted me to copy down all the words on an advertisement for checks.  But there were too many words.  So we started looking at the available pictures you could have printed on your checks.  She picked one as her favorite that had stripes like a zebra.  She even added the word “Nani” to it.  The panda bear one was kind of funny.  The eagle in front of a flag and the whole row of cowboy boots got her attention.  And I have to mention the one that said Coca-cola.  She recognized that logo right away.  Apparently Nani picked the one with sunflowers yesterday.  Cailyn first put my name on one with a strange looking cat, but I balked about that one.  Once we turned the ad over she noticed the ones that honor rescue animals.  She was especially drawn to one with one of those fluffy-looking dogs.  Finally she found one for me that she knew for sure I would like.  It had the logo of major league baseball on it.  That girl knows her DadDad loves baseball. 

Well, when you’re just five years old your blog doesn’t take all that long to write.  She just ran off into the bedroom to see if she could get Nani out of bed.  That means I need to get started on some breakfast.  Hey, Cailyn, how do frozen waffles sound?

Luke 18:15-17 says, “People were also bringing babies to Jesus to have him touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’”

Father, you have always loved your creation and related to us as your dearly loved children.  Help us to follow your example with the children in our lives.  Amen.
