Let The Children Come

In the past 6 weeks we have been:
Snotted on
Peed on
Thrown up on
Spit up on
Bled on
Diarrheaed on
Spit on
Smacked
Slapped
Punched
Targets for flying objects
Pinched
Stabbed
Hair pulled
Climbed on
Kicked
Tripped
and still, we bravely say, 'Let the Children Come.'

When these kids do all this stuff it can be frustrating and unstanitary and well, read the list above and come up with your own emotions, but all that stuff cancels out when you can take a child that feels sick and make them stop screaming by just simply holding them, and when another one gets slapped and they run to you for comfort and when they just see you and a great smile spreads across their face and they run to you with open arms to be held and hugged. Doesn't the good in the world always cancel out the bad! Doesn't the good make all the bad so worth it! I think so, so,
Let the children come!!!
