SLOW DOWN

Slow Down

Snippet

The Older your get the faster time goes

Scripture

People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”Luke 18:15-17

Song
Slow Down by Nichole Nordeman


Sorry about that. Here’s to you 
You were pink or blue 
And everything I wanted 
Here’s to you 
Never sleeping through 
From midnight till the morning 
Had to crawl before you walked 
Before you ran 
Before I knew it 
You were trying to free your fingers from my hand 
‘Cause you could it on your own now somehow

Slow down 
Won’t you stay here a minute more 
I know you want to walk through the door 
But it’s all too fast 
Let’s make it last a little while 
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly 
I am your biggest fan 
I hope you know I am 
But do you think you can somehow 
Slow down

Here’s to you 
Every missing tooth 
Every bedtime story 
Here’s to Barbie cars, light saber wars 
Sleeping in on Sunday 
Had to crawl 
Before you walked 
Before you ran 
Before I knew it 
You were teaching me 
The only thing love can 
Hold hands through it 
When it’s scary, you’ve got me

Slow down 
Won’t you stay here a minute more 
I know you want to walk through the door 
But it’s all too fast 
Let’s make it last a little while 
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly 
I am your biggest fan 
I hope you know I am 
But do you think you can somehow 
Slow down

Please don’t roll your eyes at me 
I know I’m embarrassing 
But someday you’ll understand 
You’ll hold a little hand 
Ask them if they can 

I am your biggest fan 
I hope you know I am 
But do you think you can 
Somehow 
Slow down
Slow down

Sentence Prayer

Heavenly Father;

Discipline and teach me,

That children are one of your

Greatest gifts, and not a demand on my time.

That the only one I can slow down is myself.


Amen
