Read, sing, and get them to take a nap. I usually try to talk about Jesus. That’s sort of my mission, to speak words of life. One thing I like to tell the little ones is they are good, kind, and strong.
I think I reached a point where I’d learned a lot about Jesus, and I thought I’d try to be His hands and feet. Before I go, I ask Jesus to give me His eyes to see the kids and His heart to love them—He’s always done that for me.
There was a little girl that had been shaken and abused, and she had trouble falling asleep during nap time. One day, I asked if she wanted me to pray for her. She was two years old and couldn’t even speak, but she nodded her head yes, and I asked if she wanted me to pray for her mom, too, and she nodded her head yes. After we prayed, she was able to sleep without thinking of those memories. ●
