What if?

This morning in church, our pastor was just beginning his sermon when Leah repeatedly raised her hand in the air, as though she had a question or something to contribute to the message. Jokingly, Mom and I said to each other that Leah had something she wanted to say, and laughed it off.

I thought about it for a second, though, and I had the strangest thought come to mind.

What if babies - fresh from God and new to this world - are endowed with an abundance of heavenly wisdom, but in God's infinite wisdom He sees fit that they should not be able to communicate it with us because we - very much in this world - are not ready to hear it?

Can you imagine? And how differently does that make you look at babies?

What an interesting thought. It is to me, anyway......you might think I'm insane, but to me, it's an interesting idea.
