Heavenly Joy is a little girl with a winning personality and a loving heart...and she knows who lives inside of her at five years old...as only a five year can....
And it is not Shirley Temple.....

The innocence of little children ....
Luke 18:15-17 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.
But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Proverbs 8:32-35 “Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways. Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it. Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.
For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord.
Psalm 8:2 Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
Psalm 37:26 They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be a blessing.
Psalm 78:5-6 He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children.
Psalm 127:3 Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
At one time, my husband and I thought we would never have children..miscarriage after miscarriage....pregnancy after failed pregnancy...years came and went...until finally one made it full term with the birth of our first son....then another miscarriage ...and another full term little girl...then we decided that adoption was the next route..and along came another daughter, followed by another son...two birth and two adoptions....
I never really think of the last two as adoptions, they are my children as much as the first two...but coming by different routes...God lent each to us to nurture and parent...each counted in that heritage of the Lord and reward...
As each grew, they each made a decision to ask Jesus into their tender hearts...and as they have grown older, they have each followed a different path of that decision ...but they knew and know that it was real...now fostering that with others and their own children...
Thank YOU for the blessing of children...life would have been so different without them...thank YOU that You touched each one of their hearts, that of their spouses...that they continue to grow in YOU...that they truly are a Heritage from You...that they each are an example to the next generation in the many things that they say and do....
