This is the time of year we celebrate Jesus being born. This is the time of year we celebrate children.

At my church this Christmas eve, there is a unique service for families with small children that we enjoy attending each year.

This little boy decided to join our minister in the chair beside her. The minister said as long as you sit, you can stay.

Well, that was a fun thing to watch unfold.

I think the minister enjoyed the little boy as much as he liked being treated like an adult.

The more I travel, the more I see that children are much more welcomed into services worldwide than we do here.

Here all the kids are so well behaved in Togo, West Africa. However, they walk around in the service to the mothers and families.

Children can bring you joy.

Take the time to enjoy moments and capture them to show others what you value and teach children what you love.

Photography has the power to help communicate our values when it comes to faith and capture those moments that shape your morals and deals for your family.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

1 Timothy 4:12

 Children are paying attention to all we do and how we act.

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

John 1:12
