"Children"

"Children are an heritage of the Lord." Psalm 127:3

"I love these little people, and it is not a slight thing, when they, who are so fesh from God, love us." - Charles Dickens

"Of all the dear sights in the world, nothing is so beautiful as a child when it is giving something. Any small thing it gives. A child gives the world to you. It opens the world to you as if it were a book you'd never been able to read. But when a gift must be found, it is always some absurd little thing, pasted on crooked, ...an angel looking like a clown. A child has so little that it can give, because it never knows it has given you everything." - Margaret Lee Runbeck

They are idols of hearts and of households!

They are angels of God in disguise;

The sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,

His glory still gleams in their eyes;

These truants from home and from Heaven,

They have made me more gentle and mild;

And I know now how Jesus could liken

The kingdom of God to a child.

- Charles M. Dickinson
