“John the Baptist preceded the coming of the Messiah, preparing the people for his arrival.
John softened adult hearts to become like little children’s,
 changing disobedient minds to the wisdom of faith.â€Â Taken from John 1:17

Working in part with children and planting seeds of righteousness in them helps us to see what it means in the passage above that tells us to soften our hearts to become like little children. How easily they can forgive has always spoken to me about forgiveness!
Here above Alex and I took 5 girls from the church to have ice cream and they had so much fun just having an ice cream and getting out of the house for an hour or so. We talked to them about the love that Jesus has for each one of them.
