Jesus loves the little children...

There have been a lot of things on my mind lately. I have been stressed so much with classwork and lots of personal things that have been going on. However, I have still found comfort. Let me take you through a day from work just this past week. In case you are unaware, I work at a child development center and work with children ranging from 18months to 3 years old.

For the safety of the children, I will only use initials for their names.


*When seen walking up to the doors of the school
S: Look everyone! Miss Hannah's here! Miss Hannah's here! Do you see Miss T? She's Here!!
(The entire time jumping up and down. She's two)

C: Miss Hannah, if I could reach you right now, I would come up there and kiss your face!
(He is also two)

C-a little girl about 1 and a half, has started saying my name. To her, I am : Miss Nana

E- hearing a little boy adopted from Ethiopia, who has only been in the US since January, laugh for the first time. That sound will always grab my heart.

T-Miss Hannah will you hurry up and get over here so that I can play with you? You have the best games
(He is almost 3)

A-Miss Hannah as soon as you get in the door I'm going to give you the biggest hug of your life!
(She's two)

K- You know Miss Hannah, you're really big. But I like you still cause you sit on the floor with me.
(He's two)

You see, regardless of the stress that I have going on in my life, the moment I am around my kiddos, all of that disappears. All of these conversations happened in just one day. You can probably tell why I love my job.

And I can definitely tell why Jesus loves the little children.
