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

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
