After breakfast, we headed to the Children’s Center to hang out with the kids and help put new mulch in the yard. The few of us that went into the room to be with the kids and we introduced ourselves to them. As soon as we walked into the room, kids from ages 5-7 were latching on to who they wanted to play with them all day. Miss Beverley, their leader, started out the morning by playing music and letting us dance with the kids.

There was one part of the morning that particularly stood out to me, however. One girl that spotted me from the beginning was named Savannah. I wrote my name down on her napkin at lunch because she wanted to remember me forever. The part that really made me think was when they were eating lunch and Savannah called me over. When I came over to talk, I was leaning down a little bit so my cross necklace was hanging in front of her. She saw it and was playing with it for a few seconds when she said "That's Jesus on the cross, but where's Jesus?" I then explained to her that sometimes we only put the cross on things, but we still can remember that Jesus was hung there for us to live. This is one of those things I think I will remember forever. This girl was at a daycare facility in a not-amazing part of town and a lot of these extremely young kids were saying words and talking about topics that I would hope they never knew about. But yet, Savannah knew about Jesus dying on the cross and completely understand the concept of his death for us.
