Childlike Faith

Landon

This is my great nephew Landon. He lives in Florida and rarely has the opportunity to see or experience snow. The week before their New Years trip to see Grandma and Cool Moose (grandpa) who live in North Carolina where it does snow on occasion, Landon began to pray to God that there would be snow at grandmas. (He also asked his Aunt Alli who is in heaven to help and put in a good word.) That entire week he continually said “I know God will make it snow!” “Grandma I’m praying that it will snow when we visit!” As you can see, it did snow. Enough to build a precious little snowman and put a big smile on a little boy’s face. Isn’t it funny that even though there wasn’t a ton of snow he was still so happy! That precious childlike faith that hasn’t been tarnished by things of this world, but simply believes whatever he asks for he will receive from his a Father in heaven. It snowed and that was all that mattered.

As I walk through this season in my life, it seems funny to learn such a valuable lesson from a then 4 year old. Keep believing, keep speaking what you believe and keep praying.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
