A friend of mine is going through a particularly difficult time right now. I went to her house today to visit and help her get some things done. Her 2 grandchildren were over as she was caring for them while her daughter worked. The kids are almost 1 and almost 3. It had been a few months since I had seen them and they both had grown so much in that time. Their personalities were developing more as was their energy. But they were adorable and funny and sweet. My friend said that she felt a little better today than the past couple days. I was sure that at least part of that was due to having the children around. I think kids bring a certain sense of joy, love, and optimism – especially when they are of your own family.

I Found God today in the love of children.
