Fingerprints on the door

Last Wednesday after church, I watched Hanna as she explored the foyer on two legs. It is so entertaining to watch as little ones learn to walk. As she walked, naturally she went to the door and left her fingerprints. Josh said, "now Kent will have to clean the door". It has never bothered me to clean the fingerprints off the door. I wish I could save them as a reminder of all the kids that we have there. All of them have left presents for me on the door. Too soon they will be grown up and then they will "know better" than to make a mess. HaHa. We are looking at the future leaders of our church and our country. With the training they get at a young age, I have no fear of the future of our church. I could only hope that all children are loved as much as those at Sylvan Springs. I feel like they are all mine, and I think that everyone elso does to. They all are definitely "church babies" loved by all. I have great hope in all our young adults in their ability to raise their children in the way they should go. Our future looks bright, as bright as the eyes of our babies as they smile.

Lovely post. As a parent of 2 of the "finger-printers" it's always nice to hear encouraging words.

Susan told me about this article and said I should put it in the bulletin. I agree. Very Good!
