"But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love," Psalm 33:20





Look upon your heavenly father as a child looks up at mommy and daddy. This is where healthful living must begin!!


Matthew 18:1-4 (New International Version)
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

A young child's trust and faith in their parents is so great! They could walk blindly into the arms of their parents knowing they would make it there safely. The love and trust stands them so tall that even in the most hardest times they do not turn away!

My son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 15 months we had been through this with our other son but not at such a young age. Are little guy is 22 months now. So we are still in our beginnings. When the little guy was diagnosed, the thought of having to poke him with a needle and give him a moment of pain did not rest easy on us. How could we explain this to our son who was and is to young to understand that we were doing this for his good? Would he lose faith in us? No he did not. OK, we would say, "it is time for your medicine," as Daddy gently held him tight as to keep him from moving while Mommy gave him his shot. We would do all that we could to make it as pleasant as we could inviting him to look out the window and look at the birds. The little one would point ooooh bird. He would fuss a bit when I gave him a poke and then go to me and say all done. Even though he didn't and doesn't understand, when we were all done he did not turn away but embraced us.

Let us do as a little child and embrace our heavenly Father even when we don't understand. Let us remember He is our true source of health and that we are in the arms of a loving Father who knows best. He knows what is truly good for us. Yes even when it hurts.
