Love those challenging kids, and know you are making a difference!

1. Show Love through Patience: Understand that you are being giving an opportunity to show love to this child for a short period of time and perhaps, as challenging as it may be, to give their parent a much-needed break, even if it is just for the duration of the worship service. If the child is extra challenging, realize you are getting a glimpse into the daily reality of the child’s parent, and pray for the parent as you love their child.
