THE WISDOM OF A CHILD
I was talking to Val Stares, the Director of Above Rubies in Australia, last night about her new shipment of Above Rubies.Val has been with me in this ministry of Above Rubies from the very first day God gave me the vision, 45 years ago. When we left New Zealand, she and her husband and family (and other families) moved to Australia with us. When we left the shores of Australia 10 years later for USA, she took over the managing of Above Rubies in Australia.
Like me, Val is also now a great-grandmother. She shared with me this encounter. Her little three-year-old great-grandson was sitting on the bed with her.
“Do you have a baby?” he asked her.
“No, I don’t have a baby,” she replied.
Then he touched her breasts and asked, “Do you have milk?”
“No, I don’t have milk,” she answered.
He sat back and looked at her amazingly with his big eyes and asked, “Are you a woman?”
Wow! A little child instinctively understands “what is a woman” more than many adults today.
