On Tuesday mornings, I take my almost 11 month old nephew to the pool for a swim. My sister meets us there from work and she and I take turns swimming laps and playing with Kadesh in the kiddie pool area.
Kadesh loves the water, like most babies do, and whether he gets to splash, crawl in the most shallow areas, or walk in the one-foot area, he is loving it. He has become more and more brave in his leaps to and from Kim's and my arms and his level of activity and movement has definitely increased. He has no fear and completely trusts that he will be safe.
Last week, as Kadesh was undaunted by a mouthful of water, I realized and was reminded that we learn fear; we aren't born with fear. As children, we have an innate trust and dependence on those who care for us. We trust our caretaker to keep us safe from harm, feed us when we are hungry, and love us no matter what messes we make.
On this Throwback Thursday, may we all go back to a childlike faith. May we trust our loving Heavenly Father and most-excellent caretaker to keep us safe from eternal harm, feed us when we are hungry, even if it is only our daily bread, and love us no matter what messes we make.

Yesterday, we took a glimpse at the transforming power of prayer. One of the ways it can transform our relationships and lift our spirits is to pray for someone else.
So... on this Wake-up Wednesday, the challenge for the day is to contact at least three people and let them each know that you're praying for them. Don't forget to actually pray for them as well! ;)
You can text them, call them, shoot them an email, or send an old-fashioned snail mail encouraging note :) It will brighten your day and theirs as well. Simple as that. The knowledge that we have gone to the Father on behalf of another is a huge encouragement!
May you also be encouraged to know that even if I don't know you by name, I am daily praying over those that read this blog and are encouraged by Iron Rose Sister Ministries. Thanks for keeping me in your prayers as well!
