Splashing Water Makes the Angels Laugh

Become Like a Child Splashing in the Water


“Turned on the water sprinkler in the front yard. Jared walked into it and it took his breath away. He continued to walk in it and cry. I kept calling to him and he wouldn’t come. Just stood there and started laughing. Had to go turn it off to get him out of it. He is whistling a lot.
He and Larry took a two and one half hour walk today. Jared in the stroller. They went to the library and went to the park where Larry swung him for thirty minutes and he said that Jared laughed most of the time.”
Sheila's Journal, 6.7.99


“Went to the North Richland Hills Centre for one of our twice weekly aquatics walks in the lazy river, but we walked against the current for forty minutes which help us to not be lazy. It has strengthened our legs, feet and ankles in the last two years.


A little child about eight months old and his mother came and entertained us in the last half of our time in the pool. He was completely trusting of his mother. She did nothing to make him afraid. She was close to him at all times.


He seemed so cheerful, joyous and innocent. He never focused on us as far as I know. He was not threatened of us or friendly with us but he stayed connected to his mother.


I couldn’t help but see the angels in heaven having good time laughing with the Father about what an amazing child and mother. This mother seemed to have a smile on her face similar to her son’s. They were at first very close in proximity as he ran and jumped in the kiddie pool area.


As I rested in the shallow hot tub to finish my time there the mother moved into deep water carrying her son. He again was in total joy in the security of both of her arms. She had her strong arms situated where they were holding him close to her heart, but also supporting him very securely.


There were two life guards watching Sheila and I and when the mother and child came out another life guard came to watch over this mother and child. There was no one present who did not have the good of that child in their heart and mind. It was pure joy because it was total security, peace, joy and love.”


Larry's Journal, 10.18.16

Matthew 18.
18 At that [a]time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And He called a child to Himself and set him [b]before them, 3 and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you [c]are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; 6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it [d]would be better for him to have a [e]heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

9.4- Broken eggs.

9.4- Broken eggs. I had been warned Don't try to carry too much in from the grocery store at once. Learn the hard way or the easy way. Why does the only thing that falls off is the most fragile? The carton was crushed. Several eggs were broken. I have learned to keep looking when a little frustration comes to stay alert. Some good can come out of something bad. Getting laid off from the wrong job can lead to the right job. Getting bumped from the wrong flight to get the right flight, five minutes later plus a free flight. Now I watch for the turn and learn from frustrating little things. Broken eggs. Scrambled eggs. Romans 12 14  Bless those who persecute  [ q ] you; bless and do not curse.   15  Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.   16  Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be  [ r ] haughty in mind, but  [ s ] associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.   17  Never repay evil for evil to anyone.  [ t ] Respect what is right

 9.2- There was this grasshopper who appeared to be very old and very wounded. He drug himself along. Where he was amazed me. On the ground level at the gas station near Gordon Texas was dirt and oil and the danger of feet and tires. As I pumped 39.30 worth of fuel I wondered how did he get out of the dirt and danger to the safety of the top of the gas pump? As I get older I sometimes feel I am dragging along like a grasshopper. My spirit is fueled by seeing how my life includes my maker providing safety for me by the help of family, friends and strangers. Two such are my nephew, Lynn And Sheri Luttrell. He is a prof. at ACU and she the owner and leader of stepping Stones school. Got to spent two days of fun, 42 and homemade ice cream last week. Ecclesiastes 12. 12  Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years approach when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”;   2  before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened

 9.3- I have been given a bed to go to sleep in where a window is high and laying on my back I can see the moon at times. Flat of my back I can choose to think of the maker of the moon. A space craft from India landed there yesterday near the south pole of the moon where they think there may be water. Once the greatest human who ever lived faced his hardest days. He spoke words of steady trust and submission to his loving heavenly Father, maker of heaven and earth. "If possible may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Matthew 26. 39  And He went a little beyond  them , and fell on His face and prayed, saying,  “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You  will .”   40  And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and He *said to Peter,  “So, you  men  could not keep watch with Me for one hour?   41  Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is  [ p ] willing,
