welcomer


“Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, ‘Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.’” Mark 9:36-37

remind us, Welcomer,
that little kids never
build walls on playgrounds,
but friendships;
never see strangers,
but playmates,
never hold grudges,
but offer a hand
to the kid who has
fallen, saying, ‘c’mon,
it won’t hurt for long.’
