Special.

If there's one things I learned from working with kids it's this: Your kids are so, so special.

They're special because:
They are so innocent.
They're full of love and life.
They're trusting and so very honest.
Stinky fingered hugs and slobbery kisses are.
The famous "EMILY'S HERE" at the sound of the doorbell
They say the most hilarious things.

They're special because...

They're special to you. They're more than special. They're maginficent, beautiful little things. They are your flesh and blood. Your life, and reason to live. They're the things they love most in this world. It amazes me how much parents love their children and they trust me with their children, with their flesh and blood. This is also something so special.

They're special to God. Isn't it Jesus who said, “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven." Matthew 18:10. God loves and cherishs children, because to him they are so, so special.

Your kids are so wonderful. They're loud, stinky, snotty-faced- poopy, sticky, funny, beautiful, cherished, wonder-filled and wonderful, special little human beings and I am so blessed to be apart of their lives.
