We found out that a friend of ours (who is 6) has had scarlet fever. So, SA and I prayed for her at bedtime. Immediately after we finished praying, SA turned to me and said, "Is she all better now?" I love that! I was thinking about doctors and antibiotics, etc, but my three year old has a far better perspective with her pure, undiluted trust and faith in God our Father. By the way, our little friend is doing better!
At that time, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a little child and had him stand among them. And He said, "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matt. 18:2-4
"Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore, seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand." Saint Augustine

I love that too! I am so glad you wrote it down so you will remember. And it is a wonderful thing to be reminded to "lean not on our own understanding." When I was a kid, I thought "why would I do that?" I knew how much I didn't know. Now we forget how much we don't know, and are often limited by how much we do know. I am glad your friend is getting better.
