Something Cute

The sun is shining and I thought the following words were worth sharing. I marvel what children will say and I smile when I take the time to listen to them. What we can learn from them. Hope you enjoy.

Pediatric Nurse

A nurse on the pediatric ward, before listening to the little

ones' chests, would plug the stethoscope into their ears and

let them listen to their own hearts. Their eyes would always

light up with awe, but she never got a response equal to four-

year old David's comment.

Gently she tucked the stethoscope into his ears and

placed the disk over his heart. "Listen", she said..

"What do you suppose that is?" He drew his

eyebrows together in a puzzled line and looked up

as if lost in the mystery of the strange tap - tap -

tapping deep in his chest.

Then his face broke out in a wondrous grin, and he asked, "Is that
Jesus knocking?"

Good Afternoon Joyce,
This is just so cute. "THANK YOU" for sharing it with us. It always amazes me what little kids will say or come up with. They speak their own minds don't they. "THANK YOU" for the nice comments you left for me today. "GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME, GOOD IS GOOD" indeed. "PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME"!!!! I went back to bed this morning after I had my Oatmeal. I was still sleepy after not having enough sleep last night. I had my alarm to go back off at 10:45a.m., but DH's Uncle came knocking on the door at 10:30a.m. They needed to go to Memphis so they could get their new truck that was waiting for them. So, my and DH got up and he jumped in the shower and I had to go to the bank and get some money and go buy us some minutes for our phone. I had to make a fresh pot of coffee for DH so he would have some to take with him and I'm drinking what's left of it now. I love my coffee. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

This was just too cute! My grandma used to say "out of the mouths of babes come the truth of their world." Obviously someone has planted the right seeds in this child's world. Thank so much for visiting my blog. I am just getting started in this whole blogging thing and I have a lot to learn, but it is fun.
