I about cried yesterday. (Yeah...I'm a sucker for touching life moments.)
My friends at Medina Community Church invited me to come on Sunday and share what God is doing through the ministry of Cafe 41:11. Mollie, my daughter, must've caught the vision. She secretly went into my office and got on my computer.
"Daddy, come see this!" I hear her shout.
"What is it?" I ask, walking into the office.
"Look," says Mollie.
I stare at the monitor as she scrolls through a power point slide show she put together for the cafe. It had transitions and everything. I just about cried. Something I said (with the help of the Holy Spirit) stirred in her tiny heart during that service. Either that...or...my power point at church stunk to high heaven.
Out of the mouth of babes...out of the mouth of babes. (I actually better watch out! My little marketing agent might pull a hostile takeover, kick me out, and run this organization better than I could ever run it.)
Her presentation touched me. So I thought I'd share. Enjoy!

And the Lord said, "Let the children come unto me."
Praise the Lord for all of the Mollies in the world - especially yours! Out of the mouths of babes ...
Much love,
Lori

Re: little missionary
Mollie, that is great! It's so-o-o good to see how the Lord is growing you up into a young lady who loves Jesus. We miss you more than you know.

Re: little missionary
What a God moment for you as a parent.
Don't worry too much about Mollie taking over. If that's in God's plans for her, he will have something else in mind for you...like writing professionally or something???? Hmmmm...we'll just have to wait and see. Thanks for sharing.
