Isn't it amazing what little ones bring out in us; 

the qualities we thought we had 

learned or eliminated or kept in control?

Patience, calm, tone of voice, expectations, 

are all tested and stretched and often too far.

                                         

   Oh, that I could be more like Christ,  

always patient and calm, 

never reacting,

 always accepting

 and understanding.

These three little ones are our delight.

They offer lots of love and tenderness,

Laughter,

Fun,

Exploration,

Discovery

May they be my teacher.
