Of a Child

Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a child. / Ron Wild.

I always realize that I have so much to learn from my kids. They look at everything with new, interested eyes. Every day is a gift. They trust me to care for them, and don't worry. They wake up from their naps like they just wont the lottery. (Merrick just woke up, runs in and says "MOM! Good mornin'! *although it's 3pm* I'm so glad to see you!" Melting.)

I know that not every day is fabulous...rainbows and puppies and all that stuff. As adults there are responsibilities that do make things hard...make contentment such a struggle. But each day is a gift I don't deserve. I want to trust God's hand, and to let that be enough.
