Children

Loving grandchildren comes close to being perfect love.

The brightness of their eyes, that insatiable curiosity, the exuberant joy of the moment—all these and more weave unbreakable threads of love around our hearts. And we? We respond to them with delight in their childish expressions (cupid becomes Q-tip); we seek to answer the unknowable.

And, in spite of aching joints, we dance a step or three with them, sharing their glee of the moment. That is how God wants us to love Him.

"Jesus said, except you become as little children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." Paraphrased. - Matthew 18:3
