Nursery
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
Luke 18:15-17

MY TURN IN THE NURSERY...
Last Sunday was my turn in the Nursery to work.
My heart wasn’t in it, and my feelings were hurt.
A child from its mother did not want to part,
And cried a lot with its broken heart.
I prayed that soon, the hour would end.
That I could relax, it feels good to be free
I said once a month was too much for me.
That very next Sunday, as I sat in the pew,
The sermon was good, but the visitors were few.
Then down came a woman, and her soul was saved,
Yes, she was the mother of the crying babe.
Then it dawned on me that I had been a part
Of the one being saved, giving to God her heart.
From that day on, I would never dread,
Working in the nursery while souls were being fed
