Who doesn’t smile when they see the smile of a child? Or who doesn’t laugh when they hear a child laugh? I know that I do. The pictures above are of my great-niece who I feel so blessed to have in my life. She is seven months old now and is growing so fast. She is a very smart and happy little girl with a fantastic mother and father who love her dearly.
With this post today, I hope that it brings you some joy and helps you to appreciate the children that you might have in your life. Cherish their smiles and everything about them. Let them know that they are loved and that you are happy to be around them. As they get older, listen to them and learn what they like and want out of life. Let them know that you are proud of them.
As you might remember, being a child was fun but it also had its tough times. They will face situations and challenges where they will need your guidance. Do your best to support and direct them but allow them to make mistakes. They might fight you at times but do your best to show them your love.
By the grace of God my great-niece has many years a head of her and I hope to always be a part of them. Do you have a child whether young or old in your life who you adore? If you do don’t forget to let them know. Reach out to them and tell them how much they mean to you. Time goes by fast and life can be cut short, so tell them how you feel.
Until next time, enjoy your day and may the laughter of a child fill your heart.
