Welcoming Children
My mom sent me this article: Promise Carriers
"This Christmas Jesus teaches me about the inherent gift of children, full of promise, full of anticipation, were they never to do another thing but “be,” because what they are, is love. Children simply love. Their smallness, like His, conceals the largess and presence of this love to us and to the world through them.
They beckon us with giggles to listen for secret wisdom, to accept divine hugs through little arms, and welcome messy, glorious virtue kisses pressed upon our weary cheeks. How significant that Jesus appeared to the earth as a little, laughing, noisy, Child of Promise."
ETA: Along the same lines, here's another link to a song called Unborn that I heard today. It's just beautiful . . .
