Jesus said... "Let the children come to me, and do not stop them; 
for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs."
Matthew 19:14

 

When you think of children, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?

Do you think of smiles, laughter, hugs, and angels, or maybe love with a little bit of mischief mixed in for the perfect combination of fun? When I look at children, I see fingerprints of God, each one being unique and wonderfully made. Jesus said, "Let the little children come unto me" and "He who welcomes a child in my name welcomes me".
