Nursery Duty

Why do they call it that? It sounds like something you get assigned to... like jury duty. Why can't they call it "nursery pleasure" or "nursery privelege?" Anyway, I got to help in the nursery this morning at church. I hadn't gotten to do it for over a year because I've assisted in sunday school the past 9 months and hadn't gotten in there this summer. There was a 10-week old baby boy who was so precious and tiny. It'd been a long time since I'd held such a little baby. I'd forgotten how they just curl up on your shoulder. I can't imagine what it must be like to be a mom. I love other people's kids so much but it is nothing in comparison to the love of the mother who carried that baby for 9 months. It's pretty incredible seeing all of those little children. Every child is a miracle and displays the incredible creativity and love of our God.
