Little kids in the nursery

Today being Sunday, I worked in the church nursery with 10 kids under the age of 3--and no I wasn't one of them (unless mental age counts).

For the most part, the kids in my nursery get along very well and we rarely have fisticuffs or violent upheavals or overthrows of government. However, once in a while one of the kids decides that a large, hard-materialed toy makes a good missile and launches it at another child. Oh the tears and crying-out-louds we have then. The good thing is that kids get over their little "issues" pretty quickly and they don't hold grudges. Do you know how much a grudge weighs? At first, it's fairly light, but as you carry it around, its weight compounds by the hour, by the day, by the week and month until it becomes burdensome. This is when you should toss it away and relieve yourself of its oppressive weight. Little kids know better than to start carrying the grudge. They want to be free of anything that would take their energy. How else can they run around, jump with joy, laugh unfettered, fall all giggly on the floor, roll around and otherwise expend that energy? We need to take a lesson from little kids--don't even think about saddling yourself with a grudge. You will not be riding it into the sunset... It will ride you into the ground.
