Learn from the little ones!!

One Thursday night my youngest had just had a long swimming session and he's hungry!!! but he is only hungry for fast food!!!! So I find my self at a well known fast food place but the drive through looks like it would take me an hour so I park up and walk in  alone!! My son is obviously worn out from all that swimming!!
I stand in line it always makes me chuckle that its called fast food cos its so not!! but tonight  I stand patiently and I do one of my favourite things in life! I people watch!

A old man is standing two  in front of me, now when I say old man what do you imagine? A stooped old man with weathered skin?  No teeth and all scruffy? Well sorry to disappoint you but this old man was six foot tall stood up straight as me, he was balding and had very clean jogging bottoms on a clean white sports t shirt on. The very noticeable thing about him was he was holding two fifty pieces in his hand and his hands were shaking uncontrollably, So my imagination got flowing  I got sad, that poor man has Parkinson's  I thought  and doesn't have much money so has come into buy the cheapest thing.
Suddenly a little boy of about 5 goes up to this man and pulls at his arm, The man is tall and I think stiff so can only bend a little, I hear the little boy say to him  quietly
" Grandpa you haven't forgotten what I want have you? Grandpa beams at the little boy and beams and replies " No son I haven't" the boy must know that his Grandpa memory is not so good so says as he takes his shaky hand and say's " I will just stand with you anyway"
Now at this point I am nearly balling my eyes out because this gentle boy has taken hold of his extremely shaky hand not as an adult would to stop it shaking he has taken it as if he is going to walk down the road with him, there is soooo much love there, not sympathy just love and companionship!!
I had to look away as I really would of sobbed and not been able to order!

Unconditonal love is a beautiful thing and I so need to learn lessons from children who are so free with their love!

It got me thinking much later in the week about God's love it made me think how come God doesn't have favourites? How he loves unconditionally and he still has plenty of love for everyone wow!!
I need to have some of that love!
Eph ch 4 v 17 says That christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, beeing rooted and established in love, may have power,together with all the Lord's holy peopel, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and to know this Love that surpasess knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

So if I want to be more loving I just need to be full of God simple lol!!
