As I awoke this morning and tried to get the sleep out of my eyes I was welcomed to the new day by the birds worshiping their creator outside my window. It is always a blessing to me when the birds are louder than the rest of the world.
My dad always liked to be up early in the morning and he would say he was awake as the rest of the world was waking up.
Those are my same sentiments when I work with children to teach them about Jesus. When a little person grasps the love of Jesus and you can see their faith reflected in their eyes it is like seeing them awaken for the first time.
It is easy to get discouraged and even annoyed while working in children's ministry, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matt 19:14
Please continue to work with the children. You are letting God use you to change lives and my daughter is proof of that. God bless you!

Deletenothing like it when you see that look of "I get it" in their eyes, it's what keeps me going too :)
