Today as I was waiting my turn to go into radiation treatment I saw a young mother get off the elevator. She was carrying a young baby.  I looked at the arms and quickly saw the white arm band on the baby, only patients have the white arm band, and my heart was broken in that instant. I watched as they called the mother and took her in, soon she returned without the child and sat close to me. I went over and said, “Hi” I asked how old her daughter was and she told me one and a half. They had already gone through a surgery, chemo and now 6 weeks of radiation. Her daughters name  is Camille.  I told her I would pray for Camille and the mother began to open up, she was a Christian and she told me how God had been using Camille in the lives of people all around her. How Dr’s and nurses would ask what was different about this family and this baby.  Nurses would look for a reason to come to their room since they could feel something different.  If God can use a baby in peoples lives, how much more could he do with us if we would just have the heart and willingness of a child? 

“Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Matthew 18:3-4 NLT
