from the mouths of babes

Shortly after the "I'm too busy" comment we all arrived at our destination. An antique store in Morgantown. Me and my colonial period fetish, what can I say? Naturally I ended up chatting with the woman who was working at the store. Through the course of our conversation the woman mentioned how the world seems to just keep getting worse and worse, and I began to feel that I needed to speak with this woman about God, but was too nervous. I remember the woman then mentioned something about how polite and sweet Hannah had been (Hannah had previously asked very nicely for a lollipop). Apparently God was going to reach this woman with or without my help, because then Hannah walked up. She replied to the woman's comment about her by saying "God made me the way I am! He made the whole world! And you have to praise Him and bow down to Him." Well the woman agreed with Hannah (of course, what else can you say?!) then asked us if we go to church or if we just taught Hannah about God on our own. I of course mentioned chestnut ridge church and she was asking lots of questions. Turns out she actually knows someone who attends CRC. As we were finishing up our conversation she began to cry a little and was really appreciative of our conversation. I certainly was humbled and learned a lesson about speaking up when God prompts me! Praise God for using Hannah for His glory!

  1. Thanks for sharing this story. I always think that our kids teach us the most about God and are good for pointing out our faults that we don't want to admit (like when Elijah prayed after I found my missing car keys that God would help us to have 1 place to put the keys so they didn't get lost).
