They say, Christmas is a time for Children
\nAdults show their love by swamping them with presents.
\nAnd yet, all the research tells us that what children want more then anything from their parents is their attention, their TIME. <\/p>\n
At Christmas many celebrate the birth of the divine child
\nMary was focused on the child growing within her
\nAnd in days of old people were led to follow the trail of this child
\nTo find the child and to be with him<\/p>\n
Perhaps before we can be with others
\nWe have to give time to being with our inner child
\nTo find the child within!
\nTo learn to grow down!
\nTo listen to what s\/he needs<\/p>\n
Jesus said, \u201cLet the children come to me\u201d
\nLet them BE with me
\nWhat he didn\u2019t say was, \u201cMake them believe in me\u201d
\nHe wanted to keep their company.<\/p>\n
My boys sometimes say to me \u2013 \u201cDaddy, I just want to be with you\u201d \u2013
\nThey may trust me, love me, and believe in me, but these gifts come from time spent being with me. The gift I get from time spent being with them is their love, trust and belief.
\nIt works both ways. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
