Today, I was watching a show on the Qubo channel with Adasen and they were traveling back in time to visit some of the great inventors of history.
They found the inventors for the lightbulb, the telephone, electricity, etc etc. This got me thinking about our bodies. Who 'invented' our bodies??
When anyone looks at a radio they know that someone in the past invented it. No one would question that or even think that some time in the past the pieces of metal somehow randomly formed the radio by themselves. Someone had to come up with the idea and then figure out what materials they needed to put together to make a music playing device. But when some people look at our bodies they don't say 'who invented this?' Isn't that just plain old common sense to ask who invented this super detailed body??
Who invented my eyeball so that I am able to see the world around me and allow me to see all the colors of the spectrum? Anyone would agree that the contacts you put in your eyeballs or the glasses you put on your nose were invented by someone to help us see better. So, why would we not ask, who invented the eyeball? Someone surely did with all the tiny parts that work together to allow us to see the world.
I think since doctors and scientist can't find all the functions of our bodies and how to cure them; they will always think no one was, or is, smart enough to have 'invented' us. I just want them to meet my all-powerful, almighty God. He's the only one smart enough to 'invent' our bodies here on earth. I just want them to spend one day with Him. Then they will understand that there was a Great Inventor at the beginning of time, and His name was and still is Jehovah God.

Grudgingly
I mess up as a Mom so many times per day it's not even funny! But, there is one thing I have done right that I can see shaping Adasen's heart already, so I wanted to share. Please, please note though that we are definitely not perfect and never will be.
Yesterday, while in the car Adasen asked me for a dollar. He just kept holding it and staring out the window, so I asked him what he needed that dollar for. He said,"I saw a lady that needed some money back there so on our way back I'm going to give it to her." I almost cried, but it was funny too because she was holding a sign for a pizza place, not homeless. :o) But it really showed me that even if that's all I get right in this parenting thing I'll be okay.
You see, every time we see a homeless person or someone asking for money we always stop to give them something and I let Adasen or Owen hand them the money or whatever we happen to have that day.
I've heard a lot of people say, oh they'll just use it on booze. Which is probably true, but I also know I'm not giving them my life savings, I'm just give them 10 bucks.
I used to think the same thing too, but I never knew what to do because I felt like I needed to be doing something. In 2 Cor. 9:7 it says to give, without grudging. I feel like back then I was holding a grudge against these people standing at corners, because 'they'll just spend it on booze anyway.' Thats a grudge. I just need to have the heart of giving and not worry about what the outcome is. Maybe it will be for booze but maybe it'll be for some diapers or formula, you just never know and that is OKAY!! After you've given without grudging you've done your part, don't even think about how they'll use it, that's between Him and that person.
So, I urge you fellow parents, to bring you kids up with a giving heart. Giving, hearts that give: money, time, clothes, toys, and most importantly love. That's really what you're showing that person, love.
