WHAT I LOVE ABOUT KIDS

Yesterday was absolutely fantastic!!! What a great day it was: we had a ton of new people at church yesterday, people I had never met. Great people!!!

Then we had our small group yesterday evening. The kids were wanting to play outside and so I took them to the park. The kids ranged in age from 2yrs-12yrs. We had five of them and I'm telling you what, they were hilarious!!!
  • they love to have fun
  • they love to have fun doing the simplest of things
  • they love to play chase
  • they love to make their own 'bases' (you remember, safety zones)
  • they love to make a base on a bark chip if they know you are going to catch them
  • they love to slide down slides and get thrown in the air
  • they love swings
  • they love to rough house when they know they can hit someone bigger and not get hit back
  • they love to laugh
  • they love to get dirty because they've never done laundry
  • they love to scream really loud
  • they love to just be a kid

I was struck once again at their perfect innocence and perfect view of how life should be lived.

What I love the most about kids is their ability to love and accept and trust. We would do exceptionally well to guard these virtues in them with our very lives.

MTC!
