The other day I was sitting at the table with Jude playing with moon sand. He flashed those sea blue eyes at me and said, " Mom? How can we change the world? "
note: my first thought was ... what?change the world? aren't you four years old? how did you even think of that?
I looked at him with all his innocence and said, "It is very simple son. Love Jesus, share his love, and always be kind."
He was quite for a minute and then responded with, "That's it?"
He smiled at me, "Mom. I am gonna change the world."
It seems like such a simple task that can make such a huge impact on the world. So simple that even a child gets it. ( luke 18:17 )
I thought about it.
So simple.
Yet, even I can't seem to get it right all the time.
love jesus? check. i have got that down. that one was easy.
share his love? ummmm. sure! as long as it is in my comfort zone.
show kindness? when i feel like it.
So today I am going to take my own advise and make more of an effort to change the world.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I
have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people
will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:3-35

can definitely be challenging when the people around you seem apathetic to change...but hey. God just wants us to be faithful to Him!

Wow!! What an old/beautiful soul you have there in that sweet boy! I'm positive God put little ones in our lives to show us light.
Oh for it to be so simple!
But I am with you, seems like such an easy task but yet we often struggle.
i love the innocence of kids, their straightforward questions and then their straightforward responses. they get it, they have no filter and sometimes they make us check ourselves, love this post
