Tonight I was holding a little girl at church, about one and a half years old. She generally cries when I hold her, but tonight she decided it was ok. There was initial crying, but it quickly subsided. She was unsure that she liked me, but I kept putting on music, so everything was ok. She was playing with my hair, when suddenly she came to a realization: there is hair on my face!
Tug, tug: it's real. She pulled at it and ran her fingers through it. She smiled. It's the first time she's ever smiled while I was holding her. And it was one of the greatest moments of my life.

Just a Brief Thought
