Suffer the Little Children to Come
Jesus said in Mark 10:14, "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not: for such is the kingdom of God." (KJV) We've just recently moved into another home that we've spent the past two months renovating and getting ready. In the community that we now live there are a ton of kids who love to come over to our house. We play with them, give them candy and let them play with our pets. Sometimes it's hard to get a break from them. Haha.

This morning, after Cho Nas had already left for school, five of these children came over to our house. Their names are: Geronimo, Remei, A.J., Delma and Leila. They only speak Pohnpeian so it is good for me to be able to communicate with them in their own indigenous language. Today I asked them if they had ever asked Jesus to come and live in their hearts. All but one said they had never done so and they all wanted to pray. So in their own language they repeated after me a prayer asking God to take away their sin and then asking Jesus into their hearts. After we had finished praying, they all had such big smiles on their faces and said that they felt different. Then we all laid hands on Delma to pray for her healing as she constantly experiences stomach pain and also had a problem with her right eye. After that we played an intense game of "Duck, Duck, Goose" together. So much fun. I love kids. They are so full of faith. Jesus said that such as these children is the kingdom of God. We are blessed beyond measure to so often have our new house filled with the kingdom of God!
