Friday Oct. 31th 2008 Marks love toward children

Mark has a real love for children he always has. Mark loves children because they so freely give love back to us . I went up to see Mark to night and I told him I left the kids in the car and I had baby Lizzie in the car with the boys. Mark told me to go get her he wanted to see her. So I went and got Lizzie. Marks face lit up when he saw her. I sat her beside him and she smiled at Mark  and Mark smiled right back at her. Then Mark began to goo at her. Lizzie decide she would goo back. Then Mark and Lizzie goo back and forth for a little while the goos became singing Goos. Mark would sing in a goo then Lizzie would do it back to him. Then Mark would click his tongue to see if he could get a smile out of her. She smiled big at her uncle. Then Mark growled at Lizzie she like that to. Mark told me to take Lizzie coat off. He told me she was going to roast to death. He was right it was hot in there . Mark also wanted Lizzie to sleep with him and Ronnie . We told him there was no room Mark always likes to have the kids stay with him and Ronnie. This made me happy to see Mark enjoy his self with the Lizzie. Because this was Marks nature with kids before the accident. My brother has always been good with kids.God has told us we have to become like little children . Matthew 18:3"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven 4 therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.  But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."   What does Jesus mean when he is saying this? What are little children like? Do they harm anybody? Do they love in simplicity , and do they just want to be loved. Do they want are attention, and do they give us their attention. Are they willing to let us help them if they need help. A little child is helpless without its parents. Is this what Jesus is showing us. Is he showing us how much we need him and how we are not able to do anything without him, it is only Him that makes us worth something. We were bought with a high price, nothing will ever be able to match what was done on Calvary. No act that I can do will ever make me worthy to stand before a holy God. Only your sacrifice King  Jesus, the life that was laid done willing to take the place of mine. Lord not only did you lay your life done for mine, but you did this for the world, this was done for any one that believes in you. This act was done out of love for us. You have the power to lay down your life  and you have the power to raise you life. The grave could not keep you because you did not sin yourself. You took the sin of the world upon you. You paid a debt you did not owe. I owe debt I can not pay. It is only because of you I will never die. I will go on to be in eternity with you. All because you love me.


 I told Mark before I left, Hank and I love you very much and Mark told me this means alot to me. Lord I want to thank you for all answered prays. Thank you for hearing us when we cry out to you. It was such a blessing to be with Mark tonight and to see his smile. I know if you would not have saved Mark from this accident, I would have seen him again in Heaven with you. God when can I start really seeing the great love you have for all of us. Please show me so I can really appreciate You. So I can know your real character. So I can give you the love back that you so deserve.
