Oh, the Places You’ll Go…

Some moments I’m overwhelmed with love for these precious babies God has placed in my care. How can I be so blessed?!? It hit me, the other day, that each of these little ones that I get to love, will grow up. They will go places I’ll never dream of getting to go. They’ll see things I can only hope I get to see. They’ll learn more than I can ever hope to know. But through them, I will get to be a part of something so much bigger than myself! I may never know what each of them does with their life, but I can imagine the plans God has for them, and I know they’re amazing!!!

Where will you go, Little Ones? What will you do? What will you see? What will you accomplish? What will you learn? Who will you meet? Who will you touch with your special story?

  • Will you be a doctor who heals other people?
  • Will you be a pastor who preaches God’s love and grace?
  • How about a farmer who grows healthy food that will help feed the poor?
  • Will you be a scientist who finds the cure for cancer?
  • Will you be a missionary who reaches people who haven’t heard the message of Jesus Christ?
  • Will you be an artist or photographer who captures the beauty of God’s creation?
  • Maybe you’ll be a nurse who shows your patients you love them with Christ’s love, by simply listening?
  • Will you be a teacher who guides little hearts and minds?
  • Will you be a waiter/waitress who speaks hope and joy to the people you serve?
  • Perhaps you’ll be an architect who designs strong buildings to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes?
  • Will you be a musician who brings a little piece of heaven to everyone who listens?
  • Will you be a cashier who brightens peoples’ day by smiling at them?
  • Will you be a construction worker who prays over each stone you lay?
  • Maybe you’ll be a driver who takes people safely home to their loved ones?
  • Will you be a mama or papa who kisses boo-boos and raises the next generation to love God and serve others?

The bottom line, my precious Little Ones, is that God has an incredible, unique plan for each of you. If you keep your eyes on Him and seek His will for your life, you will succeed. I hope and pray you build your life on the stone that is Jesus Christ, and you keep Him as the center, and seek Him in everything you say and do. I love you so much, Little Ones, and I thank God for this time, however short, I get to be one of your mamas!!!
