Whatever became of the child that Jesus took into his arms to teach his disciples a lesson about greatness? Was it a memory she held on to? Did she remember the sounds, the smells, the sights of being embraced by Love? Or the surprised faces of those adults who learned something new or remembered something sweet?
Hopefully she grew up knowing that the greatest thing is to be held by Love. Hopefully she grew remembering that anyone who receives her receives Love. Hopefully, she generously gave of herself and sought out the little ones. And hopefully, the child within us can remember that all this is true for us as well.
