In Executive Edge newsletter, management-consultant Ken Blanchard retells the story of a little girl named Schia (which first appeared in a book titled Chicken Soup for the Soul ). When Schia was 4 years old, her baby brother was born.<\/p>\n
\u201cLittle Schia began to ask her parents to leave her alone with the new baby. They worried that, like most 4-year-olds, she might want to hit or shake him, so they said no. Over time, though, since Schia wasn\u2019t showing signs of jealousy, they changed their minds and decided to let Schia have her private conference with the baby.<\/p>\n
\u201cElated, Schia went into the baby\u2019s room and shut the door, but it opened a crack — enough for her curious parents to peek in and listen. They saw little Schia walk quietly up to her baby brother, put her face close to his, and say, \u2018Baby, tell me what God feels like. I\u2019m starting to forget.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Have you grown older and forgotten God? It\u2019s not too late to return to the one who created you. Jesus taught that to enter the kingdom of God, we must simply receive it like a little child (Mark 10:15).<\/p>\n
