Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me." (Mark 9:36-37)
Jesus told us to welcome and care for children and to welcome them as if each child were Jesus himself. All too often we turn that around and put everyone and everything before welcoming children. Let us welcome children, all the children around us, and help them grow up to see Jesus in everyone, even us.
Chalice will be celebrating Children's Sabbath and the prayer vigil for children this Fall. Follow along at: http://lightacandle.blogspot.com/
Blessings!
