When Loving a Baby is Hard to Do

I came across this baby snake on my walk yesterday. Not a fan of snakes, but not a fan of destroying a baby one either. Knowing this snake will grow into something only its mother could be proud of, this little guy made me think about how we treat people who do not look particularly inviting.

We have all seen it–someone who looks “weird” or not as attractive as the next person. Unfortunately, we stereotype and make judgments without ever giving a second thought about who that person is.

But what happens when these people are kids? Unkempt and dirty clothes–we might give a loving eye and wonder who that child might be someday.

Off in a corner alone and excluded from social events, we learn that sometimes the hardest kid to love is the one that needs it the most.

Loved, “When loving a baby is hard to do.” I’m an elementary secretary, and yes, it’s hard some days to see past who is dropping them off, sending them in, to the child who is the real reason we are there in the first place. We fill in the emptiness, where the other’s drop off. Looking forward to reading more of your post! Thanks for the “like!”

  Thank you for the comments. We never know what happens when these students go home.
