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.                       ...

BRINGING PEACE TO YOUR HUSBAND

   Two posts (blogs) ago I said I would continue to look at attaining true peace in our lives. [Sweet Tranquility] Then I promised you that I would continue to expound on having this peace spread through out our home beginning with ‘we’ ladies being the vessel of peace for our husbands.  As I have prayed over this, studied it in God’s Word and in other resources for quite awhile…my ending prognosis is that this study could continue for decades! Peace ; we pray for peace, it's our New Years Resolutions ...it is a salutation in most countries. Yet, everywhere we turn we only observe fruits of turmoil (opposite of peace).  In three thousand  three hundred and fifty years between 1500 B.C. and 1850 A.D. there were only 286 years spent without a war taking place on the globe somewhere. That's thirteen years of war for every year of peace. At that same period of time eight thousand peace treaties were broken.  Today;  2 million coup...

Living the Dream

I have probably one of the most 'spiritual' face book home pages around. My friends post scriptural banners, quotes, prayer requests & praises . I usually get a great up-lift reading my face book. Recently, it seemed many were writing about 'Dreams'. One really jumped out; basically they were challenging the thought (I believe fact) dreams are every day; what we are experiencing today, which is our family, friends, experiences,work, ministry and prayer times. I have always been a dreamer since I was a little girl. When I was little I loved the Walton's-needless to  say my dream then (get this now): was to be a writer, movie star, have 7 kids and live in a big house in the country. Uh huh...yup; unrealistic; but I sure loved the Walton's. Then, when I turned 12 yrs. old at church camp the Lord called me into the Mission Field. When I turned 14 yrs. old, the Lord gave me a heart for India; and was blessed with the opportunity of going there as well. ...
