Thank you, friends, for your encouragement and prayers to keep on with writing a children’s book. You spoke affirmation deep to the soil of my soul. Here’s another little poem for little ones that I hope will encourage you. Our Good God calls us to be as little children, no matter our age or place in life.

Matthew 19:14 CEV says
But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and don’t try to stop them! People who are like these children belong to God’s kingdom.”

Stop and listen little ones

Stop and learn what’s been done

Stop to watch and wait

Stop to pray in faith

Look for the truth said in love

Look for the wisdom from above

Look down in your heart’s place

Look there for hope and grace

Go on the path He makes for you

Go in mercies daily made new

Go with trust of His abiding

Go in faith for His providing

Learn only what is good

Learn deeply what you should

Learn His peace amidst the noise

Always learn, little girls and boys

Remember His love, little ones

Christ’s work is already done

You need only to believe

His grace awaits you to receive
