where God smiles back

 

 
 
 




Matthew 18:2-5: "He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.'"

"Children are the joy of our lives, the echoes of our laughter, and the legacy of our love." - Unknown
