The little girl and the pastor


A little girl talked to the pastor in church on Sunday. She waited until the end of the children's sermon was over. She was unconcerned about the fact that she was holding up the next part of the service. The pastor didn't rush her. When she was done he kindly directed her to children's church.

At the little girl's age I found it endearing. I was amazed that the pastor didn't scoot her out of the way. As we get older we are encouraged not to act like that. We are very concerned about what others will think of us. Most of us don't act that way, but not because we don't want to.

If you want to enter the kingdom of heaven you have to have faith like these little ones. Oh to have faith like a child.
