Stolen Heart

It has been a couple of weeks since I have started working in the 2 year old Sunday School Class, and I love every minute of it. Well, most of it. The first day that I was there, the first little girl I met was Delaney. I think that it was both Delaney and my first day there, so we really clung to one another. Delaney, of course, is 2, but extremely intelligent. Heck, I am 18 and I can't even say hippopotamus as well as she does! Every Sunday the first thing she does is run to me and give me a hug. I have seen so much growth in her already! She has come out of her shell faster than I probably ever will. She is so enthusiastic about everything that she does. It caused me to think about myself. Do I take advantage of every opportunity that I am given in life, or am I just sitting back and just trying to get by? We only have one life, and I don't want to be like really old and look back and say oh I wish I would have done that! Delaney, if she maintains the same enthusiastic approach, will be able to look back and say that she did everything and loved every minute of it! Now, the other 19 kids that are in that class...I would not say this about. Delaney I sometimes wish that I could just take her home with me...because then there would never be a dull moment in my life. Oh, what a 2 year old can teach someone! Her enthusiasm and personality has definetely stolen my heart!
