Yesterday at church, we installed our new pastor. The entire liturgy of the service was beautiful but the part that moved me most was when the service was directed specifically to the children. To see children as an integral part of the congregation and to value their prayers for and support of the pastor as crucial for the success of the pastor’s ministry is an amazing thing.
We don’t know much about Jesus’ childhood, yet we know that Jesus loved and valued children. We know that Jesus talked with children, hugged them, healed them, and worked through one young boy to perform a miracle.
Children are important.
And those who raise and teach them are important, too.

Always
Don't worry, little one,
You have nothing to fear.
Just take my hand and hold on tight
And know that I am here.
When your dreams at night get creepy,
When your thoughts scare you out of sleep,
Just take my hand and hold on tight
And know your heart I'll keep.
I love you seems so simple
Yet more passionate words seem few
So take my hand and hold on tight
And feel my love for you.
Don't worry, little one,
You have nothing to fear.
Just take my hand and hold on tight
And know that I am here.
