A Little Thought
My sister, Karla, was here visiting this week and was talking to our 4 year old granddaughter, Alayna. They played "make-believe" for quite awhile and then Karla asked Alayna if she still worshipped the Lord in church and danced, and shouted. Alayna said "YES I DO" and I raise my hands too. Karla then asked her how she raised her hands and Alayna said "I raise BOTH of them, but some people just raise ONE hand." Karla said, "They do? How come they just raise one hand? Alayna answered, "I guess they just don't have very much to give to God!" And......we don't think children are observing us in church? So many times we are so involved in our own world and do not give God everything He deserves. Children take note of our lack of commitment in worship and praise. We really do need to watch what we "DO" and what we "DO NOT DO"! Someone is walking in our footprints and it just might be a CHILD!

I can see alayna saying that! But it is so true, too many times we just worship half haertedly and don't give God our everything. And if lifting both hands is better than just one, well then I'll lift both!
Great Kristopher! That's what it's all about....giving God everything. Total surrender!
Yeah, ever since (was it Pastor Elms that said it first?) mentioned it...I can't raise just one hand!!! I keep thinking about it!!!
