I've written numerous times on the importance of child-like faith...and how having child-like (and not childish) faith can extend our youth ministry careers. How God has set aside the Kingdom of God for the childlike...for those who are loving enough to trust and obey Him, and humble enough to depend on Him.
Which brings us to this week's post. My middle-child Jake wiggled one of his teeth right off of the gum last night and decided to write the Tooth Fairy a note before he went to bed.
His heartfelt letter is a perfect example of child-like faith: it's innocent, it's curious, and full of wonder and awe.
I think his Tooth Fairy is going to have to find a second job though.
