Becoming as a Little Child

One Sunday I received a call from our Sunday School Teacher and was asked if the following week would bring in my 4 year old daughter to the beginning of class and share some of her positive qualities. The lesson was on becoming as a little child. I said I would and began thinking about what those qualities were. At the time I was going through a challenging time with her and was not sure I could come up with many that were positive. We were had been having some behavioral problems for about a month and it was really starting to wear on me. As I thought about it throughout the week I realized that even with the challenges we were having I could still see Christ-like qualities in her. She unconditionally loved me. She ALWAYS forgave me quickly and she was mostly submissive to what I wanted her to do. I was so thankful for this reminder that no matter how challenging things appear we are all still children of God!
