"What are you doing here with all of those children?" asked a disciple. "We came in hopes that Jesus will bless our children," replied a father. "You must go away now," insisted the disciple. "Jesus does not have time for children. He is very busy talking with important people." The parents sadly turned away, and started to leave. But suddenly a gentle voice could be heard saying "DO NOT TURN THE CHILDREN AWAY." It was the voice of Jesus. He had heard what the disciple had told the parents. "Bring the children to Me," Jesus continued. The crowd moved back to let the children through to Jesus. The parents followed behind. Jesus held out His arms and hugged each one of the little children. He gently touched each one, from the youngest to the oldest child. The children made Jesus smile and laugh. "I wish everyone were like little children, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these," Jesus said, and then He placed His hands on each child and blessed them.
