Since I've been preparing for the fall season and all that comes with it, I have been thinking about the church and how it looks in regards to children(0-18yrs).
"It is in the clatter of young feet that we hear the tramp of the coming worlds. It is from the arsenals of the playground, the schoolyard, and the nursery, that we alone hope to replenish our resources and march our armies to contend for God and truth, when we ourselves are marshalled above."
Interesting enough, I started this blog over a week ago and have no idea where that quote comes from! I'm looking in my journal, in my day planner...nothing...it came from nowhere! Ah well, the words are still good!
We've started a 3 day p/week kids klub at the corps. I wasn't 100% sure of how it would go, but the Lord kept on speaking to me through various things. Sitting alone in the last row of the chapel, my eyes were closed and my thoughts were lifted to the Lord. I could feel a presence around me, that of young children. In my mind's eye, I was no longer alone, my prayers were going up, as were those of the children around me. God is good.
Times have been busy and I am blessed. The next time you hear the clatter of little feet, praise the Lord for them and think about the coming world. These kids are going to knock down walls in Jesus name.
Blessings.
