Jesus continually showed his special love for the young while on this earth. He also especially reminded Peter to take care of his lambs.
What better privilege can we have than to teach the young the way of the Lord, leading them by our example as children of God loved and saved by him.
Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a real blessing. Psalm 127:3 (GNT)
See that you don’t despise any of these little ones. Their angels in heaven, I tell you, are always in the presence of my Father in heaven. Matthew 18:10 (GNT)
In continuing our theme for this year In Everything Give Thanks this issue focuses our young people and our thanks for them . . . for their liveliness, acceptance of their elders, their faith and contribution to our worship life and their love. May God always give us the ability to see things as children.
