The love of a child

I had to go to the doctor today and of course, you have to wait. While I was waiting, a young mother and her 2 year old daughter came in. Just moments later an older woman, slightly bent over, came out of the doctor's office into the waiting room to check out. The 2 year old with her "Pebbles" hairdo ran up to the lady smiling and gave her a big hug. At first, I thought maybe it was her grandmother. Ended up, she didn't even know the little girl. You could tell the love in that child's eyes and hug probably did more to make the lady feel better than any medicine. At that moment, I thought this is how Jesus is to each of us. He is so excited to spend time with us. I need to spend more time with Him - just hugging...
