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.

6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence

-
 6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence I have a close friend who started listening to my confidential words 46 years ago. He guards his lips and preserves secrets and deep friendship. He does not speak rashly. He doesn't add shame to the bad things l have experienced. He reduces my burdens by his grace. He has good judgement regarding when to speak and when to remain silent. This gives him good long term friends and deep joy. Proverbs 13 3  A wise son  accepts his  father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2  From the fruit of a person’s mouth he  [ a ] enjoys good, But the  [ b ] desire of the treacherous is violence. 3  One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips  [ c ] comes to ruin. 4  The soul of the  [ d ] lazy one craves and  gets  nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made  [ e ] prosperous. 5  A righteous person hates a f...

9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb

 9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb but unwilling to support and educate them for the next 18 years. Save your political action prayers for the meeting with your win/lose political party, whether you are democrat, republican or independependent as far as I'm concerned. Preach and sing the gospel but leave moral slobbery for some group that doesn't abuse children and cover it up and practices racism as a normal thing. The teacher said don't strain out gnats and swallow camels. Stop bad religion please. Matthew 25 31  “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.   32  And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;   33  and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. 34  “Then the King...

8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident.

 8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident. They train four years or longer for this moment on beam and fall down the beam or fall of the beam. They fly off and miss the uneven bars. Knowing they cannot win a medal. They have messed up and gone off the horse. What do they do? They get back on the horse. They finish their routine with a confident smile. They do not let that failure define them. Our life is not marked by a failure unless we allow it to be. The choice is ours. Bad day at work yesterday. Make today that much better. 2 Corinthians 4 7  But we have this treasure in  [ e ] earthen containers, so that the extraordinary  greatness  of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;   8  we are  afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;   9  persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;   10  always carryi...
