I teach a class of 1st thru 6th graders on Wednesday nights at my community of faith. (Yes, that's a huge age range.) Last week we spent some time thinking bout what it means to be loved. The students had some reflective time to journal on the question "What makes you feel safe and warm and loved?" My favorite response came from a 6th grade boy, who said:
"It's like your parents. They hug you and then they say those stupid embarrassing comments that you learn to appreciate later."
Oh, the wisdom of children....
