"I'm so glad Jesus didn't suggest they group all the children together for a sort of general blessing because He was tired. Instead He took time to hold each child close to His heart and to earnestly pray for them all. . .then they jofully scampered off to bed. One is tenderly reminded of a beautiful messianic passage from the prophets. 'He will feed His flock like a shepherd, He will gather the lambs in His arms, He will carry them in His bosom, and will gently lead those that have their young' (Isaiah 40:11). I think there is a lesson here for anyone who would seek to set any kind of false condition concerning just who should be the recipients of God's grace. He blessed them all."Robert Frost - Our Heavenly Father
