Then he said to them, " Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all- he is the greatest."
Luke 9:48
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Matthew 19:14
Day in and day out, I am always in contact with children. Frequent contact with them made me understand them better. Each child is unique. Each child has his or her own character specially carved out by the hands of God. It is so amazing and such a blessing to spend time with these children. Each day, I am actually looking forward to work.
Most children are happy kids or so I have observed. They never seem to take things too much to their heart. One moment they are fighting and quarelling, the next, they are like the best of friends. The power of their forgivness really put me in a state of awe. Children tend to take things in their simplicity. They never like to complicate things. The simpler it is, the happier they are. The things they look for in their life are so simple. A new pencil, a praise from you, some time spent with Gor Gor Lim Young playing monopoly with them :) They love it and it brightens their day. Being there with them makes me feel so young and happy too.
Every time a child hold my hand affectionately and call out " Gor Gor Lim Young", it just melts my heart. They can just hold on to your hand and not let go and say nothing else. Mushy to some people but when you are in such a situation, even the coldest heart will melt from warmth and affection these children show you. Sometimes, they hug my hand and sometimes they climb onto my back. The warmth of their small body seem to have such immense heat and passion that really burns up your loving and caring side. Such power and intensity originate from a simple source, their sincerity and truthful expression of their feelings toward you.
Some day, when I grow up, I will really like to have children.3 to 4 children would be ideal. If God's willing... Knowing that the time left to spend with them is not much, it gets kind of saddening, by hey, I shall treasure the time with these adorable truthful little children. Before long, I will once again be thrown back into the complicated and confusing world of adults, where schemes and lies reign. May my close contact with these children teach me to love those that are unlovable Lord, if they can do it, why can't I? Kudos to children! I love you kids, I really do... Thank you all for the love :)
