When her brother was born, Sa-chi Gabriel begged her parents to leave her alone with the baby.
They refused, fearing that, as with many four-year-olds, she was jealous and wanted to mistreat him.
But Sa-chi showed no signs of jealousy.
And since she was always extremely affectionate towards her little brother, her parents decided to carry out an experiment.
They left Sa-chi alone with their new-born baby, but kept the bedroom door ajar so that they could watch what she did.
Delighted to have her wish granted, little Sa-chi tiptoed over to the cradle, leaned over the baby and said:
“Little brother, tell me what God is like. I’m beginning to forget.”

Sorry! :-( I read and read and come back… but still don’t get the menaing from the little girl, please help… Mei
May be i am thick…
For many years I have been an RN to newborns. I believe the reason newborns cannot talk is because they can tell us where they’ve been.
the big tail in the picture looks like the tail of a sperm. the big planet with the swirls reminds me of a placenta. there is a little hand of …. a fetus.
how must a baby feel/experience her/his universe of about 9 months – the uterus?
what is actually our universe?

Thank you Sir.
Mistero. Mamma quante lune ci sono? Figlio, contale tu. Che ti fai guidare dal Mistero. I Miei occhi, sono appannati, dalla sola ragione
its very cute, even little kids are aware when they forget god,
Simply Lovely. Enough said.
Im a hard working mom with 2 kids aged 5 and 2 years old..and the this note reminded of my children whom I seldom play with because of work. Thank you for the reminder…:)
can i repost this one?this is a nice message to each and everyone to open their minds and hearts with god.. >,<
Es aqui donde sugiere pensar, que en la corta edad de un niño, se tiene contacto directo con Dios, nuestros parvulos llenos de inocencia y pureza están mas cercanos a la mano divina del Dios creador, sin embargo nace la interrogante, cuántos padres experimentan o enseñan a sus pequeños a conectarse con Dios a través de la oración, en cualquier lugar o momento en particular, algo así como linea directa y permanente con el creador, que nos habla a través de la Naturaleza, el trinar de las aves, la grandeza del aguila, la astucia del león, la conversión del aguila, la dulzura en un conejo, en fin…el botón de una rosa, el movimiento de las hojas en rama, el olor a pino fresco o el olor eucalipto en la fresca mañana de verano, sin duda tenemos tanto que agradecer…en mi país hay una canción de música llanera titulada “EL ANGEL”…cierto día unos angelitos jugaban en el cielo, travesuras por doquier, de repente se escucharon gritos y llantos de una mujer en trabajo de parto, los pequeños angeles asustados, por ser la primera vez que escuchan semejantes gritos y voces, en las piernas acurrucados al Creador, éste les dijo, no teman mis hijos, ya se tienen que marchar, harán un largo viaje para llegar al mundo terrenal, ellos suplicaron no Padre, tenemos miedo quién nos cuidadará, y ayudará a mantener nuestra fé, el Dios sonriente les contestó: no teman la persona, que los recibirá, tendrá una gran misión que cumplir, les brindará amor sin medida, desvelará su sueño por cuidar de ustedes, disciplinará para guiarlos por el camino del bién, ya están por partir y hacen la última pregunta y como la reconoceremos mi Señor, no se preocupen ese Angel, solo tendrán que llamarla MAMÁ…
So true and happy this discussion began. I worked with a 4 year old sister of her baby brother, and she would tell long stories about her relationships with her mother and brother before they “got born again”, as she often said. She also said, last time, her mother was her grandmother’s mother very clearly and made connections to other relatives in different roles than they are this time. I only worked with her for two years, and this kind of talk virtually stopped when I mentioned it to her therapist, who was my co-worker :( So, Thanks Paulo.
As always, very beautifully written <3
That is sooo beautiful…. gives me goose bumps all over my skin. Children are really a blessing from the Angels above!! I will share this with many of the mothers I know!
Sólo hay tratar de rescatar los dones y virtudes que se nos entregaron al nacer y que con el paso del tiempo y el crecimiento se van quedando en el olvido, el alma pura y limpia de los infantes nos manifistan el más puro amor que existe sobre la faz de la tierra y es la perfecta manifestación de Dios en esas caras angelicales libres de prejuicios que sòlo saben decir palabras dulces y cariñosas
It really gets you thinking…
There is nothing like childhood innocence and dreams. We should never forget all good things in this life, and we should never become evil and pessimistic people. Short and sweet, thank you Paulo for your ever inspiring words!
Por mais que queiramos algo só p/nós como o Amor de nossos país.Dentro dos olhos de um recém nascido, há uma candura que espanta qualquer sentimento maldoso.(Deus)Poís como seguidamente ouvimos são anjos.E anjos não nos ameaçam, ao contrário nos deixam leves e encantados.Sabemos desde a mais tenrra idade que bebês são fragéis e portanto precisam de muito carinho.Aí estava a mágica do Amor cumplice que até mesmo os pais duvidavam.
How!
How lovely experience! As I beleived we learn from children too!
Children who remind us important thoings!
beautiful
One of the most delightful things I’ve ever read. On this planet for 65 years,I’ve read a few.
you always complete my day with you warm words. tnx
CUANTA DULZURA PAULO!!!
Beautiful
Wow, that’s so beautiful. Amazing. I’m afraid I too have forgotten. Sad.

Hermoso…Dios lo es todo y gracias a EL tenemos todo lo que tenemos, ya sea buena o mala, la cuestión es saber aprovecharla y por sobre todo ser agradecidos!!
Hermoso!
Really nice and true:)
“When a child laughs the whole world laughs” – Janusz Korczak
so deep and shocking… we begin with knowing God, loos the track by time, the cycle ends most probably as it has began.
When my daughter was 2 1/2 or 3 years old, she said one night as I was tucking her in her little bed: “I’m happy I picked you Mom” – I asked:”What do you mean?” – She answered: “I was in another beautiful place and God said, it is time for you to go back, so I chose you!!!”
that is just absolutely breathtaking and heartmelting. wow.
Such answers, which are as true as God, strengthen our belief in Him.Beautiful!!
j’ai eu a peu près la meme expérience avec mon fil.
Je le remercie toujours de m’avoir choisi J’ais envoyé un message sur cet blog à ce propos.
salut
Cristina
Dear Christine Feret,
You are a lucky mom! You are so blessed!!! And your daughter remains me how lucky and how blessed full I am being a mother. Thank you.
And Thank You Paulo! God Bless You.
As always very nice writing!
K belleza!
What innocence means….”Thanks Heavens for little girls..”
Like small children, we as adults sometimes forget to remember what our God is like. Nice story!
A thouching story and true
You have me teary eyes… I’ve almost forgotten.
Ugh you gave full blow tears now.
<3
Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it
ce que vous avez ecrit est extraordinaire et bouleverssant
Nayvety is a God’s gift,when we grow up,we must preserve it in our heart,so that we can discover new worlds and new horizons,every day it’ll be a new day.Child’s eyes are world’s soul,because they can see what we can’t see,they are potential core of the world, a whole universe that’ll became.
I like that “Child’s eyes are the world’s soul.” That’s nice, Maria.
beautiful! bello! Triste es cuando olvidamos la grandiosidad de los que amamos! Disfrutad de los recuerdos!
wow
beautiful
I am deeply touched. As a psychotherapist for Children I look very often into open eyes of little children and often I get just this feeling of a great eruption with sadness and desire as I got now because of Your words.

Precious, thankyou Paulo and Ken.
Can visualize, while reading the story, even the little chat.
And this week, my grand daughter who is not yet 2, became a very happy big sister. Easily welcoming the newborn baby into her heart.
Supervise, and respond to what really happens. Because sometimes we interfere prematurely, out of fear.
Love to All,
Jane
I think babies are the angels that Gad sent to us to remind us how great he is , and how lucky we are to be able to see this angels. Thanks Paulo
So very true…we really forget our association with God as we gradually grow up…
Thanks for such a nice post
I like your comment …very true.
as a matter of fact we’ve been babies too, but as we grow up we become adults asn we loose conection
Hermoso!
hi, this remind me the five times prayer am not doing.
in my opinion the fortuntes in the story are the parents. cause they were shown the right way as me reminded.
many thanks
if you do five prayers in a lifetime, even that would be to much for a natural evolution of mankind.
children always tell the truth
if she keeps forgetting
what does it mean?
what a simple approach to tell that, at what age a human being /child is approaching towards earthly/world affairs and forgetting his/her association with God.
Thanks a lot.
DIOS NOS CREO MILAGROSOS,CON ESE DERCHO DE VIVIR,EL TIEMPO QUE EL DICTA,POR ESO SOMOS MILAGROSOS,POR QUE NOS CREO,Y NOS QUITO DE DONDE ESTAMOS,DIOS ES NUESTRO PODER Y POR EL VIVIMOS SIEMPRE,TODOS LOS HUMANOS,ES NUESTRO PADRE ESPIRITUAL,QUE NOS AMA DE VERDAD,DIOS BENDIGA A TODO SER SOBRE LA TIERRA.
Color me awed by childhood wisdom.
