Emmett and Grammy write a blog post.

I thought it would be fun to write a blog post with my 11 year old grandson Emmett and he agreed. He chose the topic of how reading the Bible is like building with Legos.

Emmett’s Post:

Have you ever noticed how reading the Bible is a lot like building Legos? Say I am build with Legos and I get confused on how it will work. Now say I am reading the Bible and I just started reading it and I do not understand. Once I finish reading the Bible or finish building the Lego set now I see the full picture of the Bible or Lego set.

Grammy’s Post:

Mark 10:13-16 (NIV)

The Little Children and Jesus

“¹³ People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. ¹⁵ Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” ¹⁶ And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.”

Proverbs 22:6 (RSV)

“⁶ Train up a child in the way he should go,
    and when he is old he will not depart from it.”

There’s so much love and wisdom in the Word of God. There’s so much love in the heart of a child. Legos are toys of a child that they play with for endless hours; just think of the things that we adults could build with our hearts and hands if we spent such time with God in His Word and with His Word (Jesus).

Can we come; as adults, to God with the heart of a child? Let’s build ‘Legos’ with God and see what He builds in us.
