WHY I LOVE CHILDREN

WHY I LOVE CHILDREN

by TABITHA SNOWDEN

I have always loved children since I was little. Because the smile they give me always makes me melt inside. When I see children in Africa, China or even here in America it doesn’t matter, I examine little ones who are hungry for Jesus! And they don’t care what they look like they just are wanting more and more of Him (even if they don't know it). I plan on teaching to children about His love one day! I teach two little boys about God each Sunday. They always brighten my day no matter how hard times may be . In a way, the boys are kind of a 'therapy' for Me, (for some people) it may be like a ball of love! How can you not answer a toy phone when they say, "It’s for you?" How can you not open up your arms when they run towards you? How can you not teach them about God, because to me they are the ones who need it most! I cannot imagine me never loving kids! Because, to me they aren’t just another kid; it’s another smile I get to give. Even babies get a smile of course, how can you not smile at such a little face?

My dream is to have an orphanage to help children who need someone to love and to be loved no matter their troubles. When I see a child, and look into their eye's; I see just a bundle of love and innocent hearts: Waiting to be loved! I notice it every week, where do you see it? I can’t help it that I have this unconditional love (that comes from the Father up above) for children no matter the size, shape, weight or color: I love them. 1 John 4:16 "So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him."

When you look into a child’s eyes what do you see? I see love. Children need to be loved because they can’t go without it, it's like medicine for them. Next time you see a child smile.

Why do I love children: because they are always there to be loved.

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES

7 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES Out of desperation creativity is birthed. I hope to add on to this post through the years. Churches love to give to dad's on Father's Day; sometimes this can be redundant and or expensive. A few short years ago we stepped out of the Evangelistic & Pioneer work to take a small church that is just great and out of the box. So, of course budget is minimal and I am 'it' when it comes to holiday decor and gifting ideas & doing them. The 4 gifts that my family and I put together are as follows: POPCORN/CANDY/MOVIE We placed microwave popcorn, candy bar and a special Father's Day poem inside a popcorn bag. FRAMED ART FROM LOCAL ARTIST/MINISTER (Rev. Paul Gray) MADE THIS INTO A FRAME & ADDED A PEN. MINI GIFTS WRAPPED IN A HANKIE Pocket knife, Voice of the Martyrs Pendant & candy! Al

LET US TRUST THE PROCESS OF PRUNING

Did you ever read this verse in John 15:2 and think, "that's extreme, can't we just hold onto these extra branches that grew once and bore amazing, fruit?" I have definitely ! Then life happens! In that life, we make a decision to dig deeper in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Yet, as we do, we face obstacles (or that's what we called them) that challenged us to trust Jesus to do what He wills in our lives. I believe this place is a milestone in the timeline of our lives. Will we continue to walk ever so close to the Lord, realizing as we do, He will prune us? Will we desire to be producers of His fruit and life flow through us? Many of us realize that this means more obstacles, cuts, bleeding, times of dormancy and simple hurt. This is when the milestone comes; will we accept this pruning and be fruitful or just become branches that become brittle, and ragged? A lot of questions to ponder, but I feel God wants to use each and everyone of His children in o

Thank You For Asking

(c)Daneille Gray Snowden 2022 Today, I was deeply touched in my heart when a dear friend asked how my husband was. I did not mention it first, out of the blue; she asked about something dear to my heart. This wasn't the first time as she has asked about different matters in my life several times. May I tell you how that made me feel? It made me feel cared for, loved and set back how someone cares intensely about me and my life. How often do you personally experience such care and interest from others? And, as I ask myself this too; how often do we reach out and ask others how they are? When people as a whole reach out in such a way, we see the creation power of God as hearts are connected to one another and a strong foundation is beginning to be built for a lasting relationship. I love it when I hear conversations in church or in my home when I listen to their questions of wanting to learn of others situations, experiences, needs and even joys. The questioner is totally focused
