Love Is In Bloom

I believe that God uses children to praise him and tell of the Lord's glory (psalm 8:2) Yesterday my mom asked me if I have been talking to Samuel about Easter. I probably should have been, but I honestly forgot it was coming up so fast! He is going through a phase where he says no to almost anything-except if you say a truth about Jesus ,he will look at you with a big sincere smile and say "Yessssss!", "oh yes!", or smile and nod really big. He kept saying to me last week "what does God say? Hmm? What does God say?"And he would finish with "the Bible tells". This would remind me to read my Bible when I hadn't .He also likes to make anything into the shape of a cross and yesterday my mom said something like:"do you know that Jesus is our savior and died on the cross for our sins and rose again?" (Explaining Easter) and Samuel responded "YES!!!! Holy, Holy, Holy!" That is possibly one of the purest and truest responses

She had thrown up and it had gotten in her eyes and all over (ill spare the details). I felt shock and my knees going weak, because I was so sad and afraid and sorry al
