Spiritual Ink Monday, January 12, 2009

The Jesus checkbooks have touched many lives over the past year, and the stories continue to come in weekly. This one's a little different. It's a short story that tells of a young girl's simple, childlike thinking.

There are so many testimonies that I have read about our "Checks" being cashed. I wanted to share with you something about the beautiful ink pens that came with them.

My 9 year old daughter, Grace and I, we have a little notebook that is our prayer request book. At night, we write the names of anyone who is on our hearts, our Brothers & Sisters in Christ, and a lot of times Grace will add her friends at school. One night, soon after we received our check book and the pen, Grace (8 years old at that time) was writing in the prayer book, and she held the pen up and said, "This is Spiritual Ink!"

The Scripture comes to mind, ..."and a little child shall lead them." I was ashamed that I didn't think like that. We get so busy, so rushed, we miss the little things that are also great blessings. Our "spiritual pen" is used for our prayer list, and Grace reminds me if I pick it up to use it for something else.

God Bless
