Reflection 16: Sometimes It's Better to Look at Life with a Child's-Eye View

By Keeping Alive Those Good Childhood Attitudes, You Make Each Day of Our Life Together Special.
Adulthood can be great. (Just ask any child who wants to be one!) Grownups drive cars, stay up late, and don't have to eat their vegetables. Of course, we also have to work and shoulder responsibilities that were not part of childhood. Sometimes those important responsibilities of adulthood make us lose track of the innocence and joy we had as children. I hope you'll always value those childlike traits that some adults scorn. I hope you'll choose trust in both God and others over cynicism, that you'll take time to laugh, and that you'll never lose the ability to be easily pleased by the simple things that make everyday living so sweet. I love you and appreciate your maturity, but always keep the child in you alive. I like him, too.

'Seek the wisdom of the ages but look at the world through the eyes of a child.' ~Ron Wile

I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. Mark 10:15
