"At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”2And He called a child to Himself and set him before them,3and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.4“Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
-Matthew 18
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (NIV)
Matthew 19:14

Matthew 19:14
I am not one to quote the bible at people, but this passage has special meaning to me. It was read aloud at friend's funeral last March. The minister compared it to my friend, for she was a preschool teacher; as was I. She loved the children in her classes, she surrounded herself with kids and dedicated her time to loving and teaching them. She loved and lived life through the eyes of children.
This spoke to me. I walked away from his sermon knowing I was ready for another baby. I, too, have spent the greater part of my life surrounded by children, and I feel it is my calling to continue to do so. To see life through the eyes of a child is one of the greatest gifts you can receive. Here is how my children see life...
