    Mm, not sure about that quote. Little children can be quite vicious. Maybe through parents – those who have unconditional love for their children.

      The quote has been in my queue for some time but I have never had a perfect photo to go with it. Quite by chance, whilst being patient waiting for people to stop stepping out in front of me whilst I had the shot framed up without any people in. The adults dispersed and these two kids ran up. I snapped the shot quickly before their parents moved into the shot to take a photo of them :-)

      Your site is always a joy to visit :-)

    Hello Cherie,

    I just found your blog from Mrs Nesbitt. I’ve enjoyed reading about Paris, a place I love to visit. Nothing better than sitting on the Champs Elysee and watching the world go by.. I hope you had a good time. Jessica

      Hello Jessica,

      Thank you for visiting, I am glad you enjoyed reading about my weekend visit to Paris :-)

      We did have a good time, the weekend was far to short and there were so many places on my list that I didn’t get to visit…

    “The law of love” ?

    I have puzzled at length about what that means, as opposed to just “love” (whatever that means, also).

    Your “thoughts” always make me think, at least.

      Unconditional love is what we should all ponder upon… I gives freedom and wings…

      But what does that mean?

      My “thoughts” always make me think too ;-)

    So true, Cherry. So true. “A little child shall lead them.”

    What a wonderful quote..and such a perfect image to go with it. Love how you’ve captured these sweet innocent children in awe of the Eiffel Tower.

      I had been patiently waiting for a couple of adults who deliberately stood in front of me for several minutes after I lined up my shot. When they eventually moved those too little children ran over and I was rewarded whith this shot :-)

    Rather than refer to children’s well known cruelty to one another, better to refer to the Lord’s constant referencing children too.

    Fabulous posts on Paris, I am so glad you survived it and even came back with wonderful pictures and stories. I love the quote, it goes so well with this picture of the Eiffel tower.
    One day I like to go back to Paris, I visited a few times, even stayed on campgrounds in Bois de Vincennes. Love the City.

      Thank you :-) Mr C and I are already planning our return visit next year, to visit some of the places that we would really have loved to visit this time round. We have a long list, we may be there some time ;-)

      I had the picture framed for many minutes whilst the two rude adults stepped out in front of me when they knew I was about to take a photograph. I took a deep breath, several deep breaths and waited. The adults went and the two kids ran into my shot. They were my perfect moment, and I took the opportunity :-)
