smiles of young ones

smiles of young ones.

What amazing God we have. The young tender hearted ones never fails to warm the hearts of many, including those who may seemed aloof, naturally smiles when the sweetness of a child came forth from just a smile or touch or just being who he or she is...

Working with children daily is a challenge, with the consistent reminder to strike a balance between being firm yet gentle, loving and disciplining, playing vs being serious....at the end of it all, physically,emotionally,intellectually and socially, can be draining for both parties if not handled in the correct manner..working with children drives me closer to the Lord each time, needing that patience, correction, teaching and most importantly-Love.
Balance is the key, but the motive of all we do must come from the great source---LOVE.

"Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails."-2Cor13

Indeed, love never fails.
