Hello Heart Partners…especially parents, educators, grandparents, aunties, and uncles!!! I hope you are all doing well, and that you all enjoyed Resurrection Son-day, or are enjoying Passover!!! Today my heart is filled with so much LOVE and GRATItUDE for children…HIS KIDS!!! As SPRINGTIME is here…I see and hear all of the children coming out in the neighborhood to enjoy the sun, and play with all of their outdoor toys, while helping in the gardens with their trusted adults! I am reminded of YAHUSHA’S words…Matthew 19:13-14 Tree of Life “Then little children were brought to YESHUA so that He might lay hands upon them and pray. Then the disciples rebuked those who brought them. But YESHUA said, “Let the little children come to Me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” PAUSE…breathe HIS air…hear HIS name as you breathe out…YAH-WEH…Now, let’s pull these verses apart…the children were “brought” to YAHUSHA…by who? AWE…trusted adults brought their children to YAHUSHA…for what? Oh they wanted HIM to lay hands upon them and PRAY…VS. 15 “After laying hands upon them, He went on from there.” What did these trusted adults believe? Was it important to bring their children to YAHUSHA? Well of course…and apparently the children were being their fun, loving, and wild selves…something that the disciples could not “perceive” as necessary, important, pivotal to the KINGDOM OF YAHUAH? To “rebuke” children for being themselves is kind of silly when we know who YAHUSHA is, and why HE came…in-fact HIS father sending HIM to earth as an infant! This picture is prominent in my living room, a real treasure that says it all…see what you think…It’s called “The Dance of Grace”

See the JOY? And the adults…their expressions are PRICELESS ! Do you think this could have been a WILD dance circle?? I do, as children bring so much energy and positivity to our lives…and there YAHUSHA is dancing along in step with these precious children! And now I burst out in song, “When the Spirit of the Lord is upon my Heart…I will dance like David danced!” Do you feel like David or Yahusha in the picture with children? Can you let them share their exuberance, and wildness for life? I was shopping the other day, bent over in the meat section and a little gal ran into my backside with a miniature cart…I laughed and said, “OH HELLO!” Her mom apologized profusely, and I said, “OH she is just learning how to navigate this busy market…I don’t mind at all!” I saw a humongous sense of relief on Mom’s face…as most Moms are guarded and ready to get told off for their wild ones…instead she received GRACE…my whole heart to deliver to parents!

Many of us search high and low for “wild” fruits, veggies, supplements, as we know they are PURER! What causes us to shift when our pure children, straight from the heart of the Father appear “wild,” and we go into control mode? It’s a huge problem in our heart and mind, as we get caught up in appearances, and expectations. I was sent videos and pictures of HIS kids enjoying egg hunts, a young gal thoroughly enjoying a “Dog Cafe” in Japan, and family celebrations yesterday…seeing them go “wild” to find the eggs was so much fun to watch…and the best was that they were young people of all ages! I watched a few times…and celebrated their “wild” fun…a true dance of GRACE! Truly, childhood does not last very long relative to our lives here on earth…so maybe we can adjust our heart thoughts and raise our children in the WILDNESS of YAHUSHA? What would that look like in our day to day, as it’s not about letting children be dangerous to themselves or others, but instead being their authentic selves, not “mini-me,” or mini-adults! In my lifetime, and experience of 43 plus years with children and families, I have seen the most success when parents and trusted adults can attune themselves to WHO children were created to be, join them, orchestrate the fun they enjoy, which is where YOU become their sensory regulator! When we can discern and understand WHO children are, we can exercise our YAHUAH given wisdom, and create life-giving experiences where their “wildness” can soar, and they can learn within rich and deep activities that meet them, and still be safe! Children love when adults understand and JOIN them in their fun! They long to be seen and heard more than we often realize. Remember…”they came to know things, and be known.” As adults, we can relate quite often in our careers, or desiring to be deeply known by a spouse or loved one…and when we are surprised by a compliment or promotion at work, or when a special person gifts you, or takes you on an adventure of your heart…we immediately feel like we are soaring in the things we were created for! We all need a little “wildness” in our dailies…why not let go, and enjoy the wild elements of your children or children in your care? You just might discover a NEWNESS or a part of yourself that had gone dormant ! We can awaken to YAHUSHA’S words…”become like little children!” (Matthew 18:3)

Are you ready to dance with your child or children the way they were created to be? Ask your FATHER for guidance, as we also need to follow , Proverbs 22:6 TLV “Train up a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not turn from it.” When we are attuned to the way our children were created, and learn it’s so much easier to instill morals and values, so that they will stick and become a part of their “tapestry!” It’s our turn to BE BRAVE and let our children demonstrate the LOVE of our FATHER to us!

Sending you all so much love and belief…I would love to hear from you, if this resonates, or you want to share or chat…feel free to reach out…

SHALOM,

May YAHUSHA show you so much GRACE in your leading of children!
