Try to learn children's names and say hello when you see them. The influence of a friend can be a strong pull for a child, and if the influence is a positive one, the job is a lot easier for the parents. So, if you don't feel like going to church regularly, think of your children. If your church area doesn't have a children's ministry, be a driving force to make it happen. To work with church kids is a wonderful experience, and it is a privilege to teach them biblical principles that will eventually help them accept Christ and become pillars in your congregations.
All kids are precious.
