Boy vs. Girl >>> 20 years

OK, OK, so the picture is a little big, but it will work!  

Can I just start out by saying we serve a big God!  A God who is so “in tune” with us.  He knows exactly how to reach us, especially those of us with small children.  He uses them!  I am eager to hear His voice and recognize it!  Well yesterday I was in Wal-Mart of all places.  Not only was I able to hear Him speak to me through a child, luckily not mine, (you’ll understand why in a minute!) but I was actually able to “get” the lesson!  Now come along with me to Wal-Mart…  I rushed in, picked up what I needed and was heading for the exit when I noticed a little girl about 6.  Her mom was a little bit in front of her, missing the ENTIRE thing!  I notice the girl stops to look at the lastest movie being released, “Barbie and the Diamond Castle.”  Have you seen the posters by the doors?  You know the ones, they are giant size and they cover the security bars.  Well, as the little girl stands in awe of the poster, she begins kissing, yes I said kissing, all of the barbies and the little dogs.  Now not only is she just kissing them, she has her arms spread wide open as if they are embracing her.  She is completly consumed with this poster!  I hit me right then…wow, little girls are SO different than little boys.  And there it was, the lesson in all of this.  Take the same differences and add 20 years.  Ding Ding…there still there!  Why is it that I can so easily see the differences between two children of different sexes, but yet when it comes to adults, I have such a problem.  What I think is so cute in a child is expected to just diminish away??  God has taught me something today.  And I am so thankful that I heard his whisper!  So, let me challenge you to embrace the differences between the male and the female.  After all, God has created us each for a purpose.
