Good morning as we start another week! May you be with the Lord this week. While we were on our little vacation to Colorado, courtesy of son Greg and his wife Natasha, they treated us to two Minnesota Twins and Colorado Rockies games! It was just a grand time! What even made it better was this picture of father and daughter! What do you think when you look at this picture? It made me weep tears of joy, the Love of God, the creation of God, the peace of a child, we must have child like faith, how precious a fathers love is, how important it is for children to have a father, the sanctity of life, the love of a child and their father, all these thoughts ran through my mind. I look at this picture and know in my heart and my mind why God called me into FGGAM, to stand in the gap for the sanctity of life.
Matthew 21:15-16
But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple area, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, ” ‘From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise’ ?”

Matthew 18:2-6
He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the 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.

People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
