Today I'm grateful for children.
At church, Josh and I are in charge of watching 10-15 children between the ages of 18 months - 3 years.
At first when we started, I was so overwhelmed by all the little children and chaos, I didn't know where to start.
Now that we have been doing it for around 6 months, I have fallen in love with all the cute little tykes!
I love their innocence.
Children don't judge or withhold their love.
Today I was reading stories to a couple of girls, with them sitting in front of me.
Most of them lost interest between the 3-4 story, but this one little girl, who has been SO shy, came up and climbed onto my lap.
No coaxing or encouragement needed.
It made my heart melt.
And I read any story she wanted me to read.
Children love and trust without reservation or judgement.
It's moments like this that make me excited to be a mother.
I hope that my children will grab stories and climb onto my lap.
