Today I was aware that a few of the children in school, in different classes, were just not as happy as they ought to be.Their parents had to be phoned and problems discussed.None of which turned out to be about their school work, but other more complex issues.Sometimes we don't give children credit for the depth of their thinking.In fact, they are exceptionally good at sensing difficulties around them and as a result develop stomach upsets and so on.They are extremely sensitive and caring little individuals.
I feel blessed tonight to know that God has placed me in a position where I can reach out to young people and their parents and be involved in their pastoral care, listening to their concerns and trying to help understand their pain.
I'm reminded of the time in the bible where Jesus called all the little children to Himself.He clearly explained how important they are, by telling us-
"Theirs is the kingdom of Heaven".
So let's be careful as grownups and watch our actions, as everything we say and do has a profound effect on our children!
