The gift of a child

He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me." Mark 9:36-37

Have you hugged a child today? Jesus did. He brought a little child to his disciples to teach them the importance of loving and welcoming children. Jesus knew how important it is to love and teach such a small being about God's word. Jesus wanted to teach His disciples that children are not second class citizens, as their society taught; and how important it is to love children and to teach them about God the Father.

As parents, it is our responsibility to raise our children in the shelter and instruction of God's word. Children are the future of our country. The "health" of this world depends on our children. Teaching them to love their neighbor, to love and respect their parents, but most importantly to love and honor God and how to obtain eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ, will do more for this world than most of the fundamental lessons any instructional institution can provide them. …show more content…

I have to say that loving my children is my favorite "job" in all the world. My children have helped mold me into the person that I am today. I wholeheartedly believe that children were put on this earth to love. I have taught Sunday school for children from ages 2-20 over the years, gotten involved with my children's friends (from elementary school through college), and their sport teams for the sole purpose of loving my children and loving the children around me. I have cooked and baked for the sole purpose of loving on these blessed young

    My mother was a complex, multi-faceted person. Many of you here today knew my mother personally, and many of you knew my mother indirectly through one of her family members. You may have known her as a coworker, a friend, or a support person. Of course, all of my mother’s family here today each knew a part of her, a “facet” of her--as a mother, a sister, an aunt, a grandmother, a cousin.

    It is hard to give a eulogy for one’s parent.  More than the death of a classmate or sibling, the death of a parent is not only a loss, but also a reminder that we are all following an inevitable path. We are all “Outrunning Our Shadow” as her friend Fred Hill so provocatively titled his book.

    Eulogy for Son First, I would like to say thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and affection from our community at last night’s viewing for John. Roger at the funeral home told us this was the largest turnout he could remember. Close to 1,000 friends—and many people who were merely touched by John’s story—waited up to four hours in the rain to pay their respects. We want you to know how very grateful and very touched we were by the response.

    Today, the most difficult day in my family’s life, we gather to say farewell to our son, brother, fiancé and friend.  To those of you here and elsewhere who know Dylan you already are aware of the type of person he was and these words you will hear are already in your memory.  To those who were not as fortunate, these words will give you a sense of the type of man he was and as an ideal for which we should strive. My son has been often described as a gentle soul.  He was pure of heart and had great sensitivity for the world around him.  He had a way with people that made them feel comfortable around him and infected others to gravitate toward him.  Dylan exuded kindness and pulled generosity and altruism out from everyone he touched.  He was everyone's best friend.

    He taught his disciples that being a servant doesn’t mean being weak. He represented this by being a servant to his disciples. He was a team builder and also a relationship builder. For example, Jesus managed to get Matthew the tax collector and Simon the Zealot who was a Jewish nationalist to work together, even though Simon strongly believed that paying taxes was against his views.

    I believe when Jesus was giving Peter more responsibility and privileges it caused the disciples to compete for becoming the greatest son of the Kingdom even though they were not fully aware of what made a son of the Kingdom great (Mitch and Sri, 226). Jesus clears up the confusion among the disciples by using a child as a "living parable" (Mitch and Sri, 226). In the early Jewish culture, children were looked upon as lowly people who were low on the social hierarchy and were always under the authority of those older than them (Mitch and Sri, 227). The authors use the words, "radical reorientation" to highlight the transformation of the disciples' views about the Kingdom (Mitch and Sri, 227). Jesus calls the disciples to "turn away from their worldly views" and humble themselves to the point of becoming like children; furthermore, this means they would be almost invisible in the world and be servants to all (Mitch and Sri, 227). Jesus makes a demanding command by saying we must be as humble as children to enter the Kingdom and if we do not humble ourselves we "will not enter" the Kingdom (Mitch and Sri,

    Eulogy for Son William was a very special person. His good qualities are endless. Since he was just a child, I always remember William sticking up for the family. When his sister, Lisa, was a baby, William would sit outside her room with a mask and cape on, ready to rescue her in case she started crying. And, if William’s father or I were making too much noise, he was always quick to fly downstairs and tell us to keep quiet so as not to disturb his little sister.

    “While claiming full unity and equality with God, Jesus was very active as a teacher and healer. Through his parables, direct teaching on important topics, and miracles, Jesus used commonplace human situations to tell us about God’s interest in each of us, the way to make good choices in our life, and about the Kingdom” (Adult Learner’s Guide).

    When I was little, if you couldn't find me, I could be anywhere— up a tree, under the covers, in the closet, even hiding in the bathroom where I couldn't be disturbed... but almost always with a book. Friends even through college would ask how it was that I gobbled up words like peanut butter. Usually, I would just shrug and say, “I have no idea where it came from!” Thinking back, though, it's so obvious— how could I miss it?

From the women to the children, the aliens and the outcasts, He was a...
