— -- A kindergarten teacher at Presbyterian Day School in Clarksdale, Mississippi, snapped an endearing photo of two of her students who fell asleep holding hands during nap time.

The school posted the picture on its Facebook page and it has since touched the hearts of many strangers on the Internet.

It was captioned with the Bible verse: Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7

The headmaster and principal of the school told ABC News today in a statement, "This spirit of love and acceptance is the heart of the gospel of Jesus and it is what we try to teach our children here at Presbyterian Day School."
