Life has never seemed to stop. As we have gotten older we tend to add more to our plate. We do not have enough hours in the day. And then we take on more, for whatever reason. It may be to make us feel important; it maybe be for us to feel needed; it may be for the satisfaction that something is getting done; it may be for the fear of being idle. But for whatever reason we all at some point have abandoned what we once knew as children and so easily have forgotten. Sitting in grass and looking at insects crawl amongst the blades; spinning on a tire swing till you are so close to vomiting, but you keep spinning anyways; accessorizing Barbies just to see what they look like; running around all afternoon, not caring about the sweat on your brow nor the plant in your hair. What happened to those days? Now my days are focused on my image, if I am loving people well, how I am being effective in people's lives, if I am following the will of God, if I am living a life that is honorable? Yes, some of these things are worth living for, but in the same instance God did call us to live with child-like faith. With openness and with out inhibitions is how children live...lets live our faith like that!
