face. It was so sweet, so pure, so loving. I’d been having a hard day and had been struggling to smile. Then her kiss turned my day around. All the love I’d shown her during the previous 16 months returned to me when I needed it most.

The Bible says “a little child shall lead them.”1 Little children teach us beautiful lessons of faith. They show us that when we give abundantly, we will receive abundantly. They help us focus on the simple things of life. We enjoy their innocent songs and stories, and it reminds us of a less complicated time. A little one’s smile can change our lives.
