A little while back my d-in-law expressed her anger about her two-year-old being shushed in church. It seems from social media this happens in too many other places as well. The incident encouraged me to write the following. Feel free to pass this to others who might experience/ have experienced a similar vexation - if you feel it might be helpful
A Sign of Hope
There is hope when the voice of a young child
sounds out amidst a silence, a reading,
or prayer in a church:
for then you can thank the Holy Spirit that two, or even three
generations of a family are on a journey of faith,
making their search
to find the Saviour, who said, so explicitly,
‘Don’t ever stop them! Let the little children come to me.’
