MEET CHILDREN AT THEIR EYE LEVEL
An article by Rev. Grace Verrier
BIG OR SMALL
What would it be like to see through a child’s eyes? Imagine walking into a church and seeing giants everywhere. If I walked into a room full of people who are twice as tall as I am, it could be a frightening experience. That is why I have learned to greet children at their own level. (Why pay to go to the gym to do squats when it is free to do one every time I greet a child?) There is an instant connection when I look straight into a child’s eyes. They know that I care enough to meet them on their own level. Children are exactly the same as we are – just shorter. “Man looks at the outward appearance but the Lord looks on the heart.” (1st Samuel 16:7)
