"Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelango, a Beethoven. you have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel and when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children."
Pablo Picasso
A friend shared this quote with me, and it provoked so many thoughts and emotions. I love it! What do you think? I hope you've enjoyed a restful Sunday! We went to church, ate leftover pork, corn salad, amazing green beans, and banana pudding before a short nap. Then some of the children played with friends and we went back to church for Covenant Kids Time. The children played on the playground afterwards despite the heat. We treated everyone to Dairy Joy on the way home! What a wonderful Sunday!
