I ask a very simple question here ?

Sarah, so beautiful, so well put. Would we have a universe without babies? No! No! A Thousand times No! Thanks to God for this cradle, this school, this place of struggle and for babies-- us, the babies, the sons of God in training to assume higher levels of power/service in the universe, future artists of souls and guardian angels of babies to be born! We will be shaping God's babies some day as we ascend to the level of the principalities and powers. Yet even when we are the principalities and powers, the babies will be shaping us, for out of the mouths of babes and sucklings God has ordained truth-- he manifests himself in children.

Yes! Above the obvious things I learn from them, like patience and sharpening of teaching skills, if I allow myself to be in the moment and see them, I get the incredible opportunity to see life, that is the only word that fits;  life.  They see through fresh eyes, it is the most beautiful thing in the world. It is healing. And if God is what we see in children, then He is good and pure.

This is healing Rhellis, you are pulling this out of me. My brother recently left my sister-n-law of 18 years. They have 3 children 3, 6, and 9. I taught one and am teaching the other. I don't know what happened to him, but he decided to leave her and shack up with his prostitute. What an incredible selfish man he is and I feel so angry at him, but when I see him I still love him. It is a strange dichotomy. Anyway, I said all of that to say this; Even in the midst of what seems like chaos, God must somehow still be in control, and maybe I can't understand it (my reading analogy) and just have to accept that He is God and He has His reasons for allowing this and some greater good has to come out of it. If I don't think like this I will become bitter...bitter at God for being so irresposible at making something He couldn't control, and bitter at my brother for choosing such a selfish path.

  Hi  I read your posts , and I know that babies are innocent   not doing any good or evil 
and  in our understanding  Spiritually speaking  we are babes , on this earth ...innocent   , not doing any good or evil   and need  protecting /care  nurturing
and  the  Lord is our caregiver /parent  to His offspring 
   I have had time to think  about  all this  and  do feel relief  , I trust God
    because He does  Love us


Rom 9:11 (For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls;) It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
