To Become like a child...
Hi Friends..
Yesterday was our youngest Grandson Keegan's First Birthday. We went to his Birthday Party! I watched as he was pretty much unimpressed by the food, and the cake and the toys. When he finished opening all his gifts, I watched has he got down in the floor and was happiest to be playing there with His balloon. He would let go of the string and then reach up and pull it back down to himself. Watching him I was reminded how when My Children were younger they were the same way. They would rather play with the balloon's or the wrapping from the gift's than the toy's. Today it's much different. They work hard to have the nice things that life can give them, and give their children nice thing's too. As I'm thinking about My 55th Birthday coming this June, I'm thinking about Keegan and Myself and the scriptures where Jesus said, "Except ye.......become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3). I want to remember to be child like. To love the Balloon's and the simple things in life. To see life through a child's eye's unencumbered the by care's of life. But, wrapped up in the simple thing's that make one happy. Father don't let me be to caught up by the cares of this life to appreciate the child in me. Help me to be all that You desire of me. ~Amen
