Kids are irritating, annoying, loud, needy, tiring, frustrating, and constantly on the prowl to discover new ways to drive their family members to the brink of insainty. The idea of making a creature of my own is not something I forsee anytime soon.....so I have watched and learned how to interact from faraway......
but maybe.....the distance is keeping me from truly grasping the lesson these little ones have to teach....
"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heavem." ~Matthew 18:3
Of all people who loved kids....the fact that Jesus finds them far more important than ANY adult on the planet and way for worthy of heaven than the Pope or Billy Graham....well...dang...
I guess there is more to a kid being cool than those hilarious youtube videos of them doped up on morphine, or explaining the entire story of star wars..
They will believe ANYTHING you tell them without doubt....lol like this one time my sister and i played a prank on my lil brother, we told him their were ghost in the house and thats why we had to move out...so i got under the bathroom counter and made the drawers go in and out while making a ghastly sound...hahah he ran and screamed!! soo great .....
which looking back...yeah it was funny but i feel kinda bad that I took that belief and ran with it....thankfully he wasnt tooo traumatized from that expeirance...he is a somewhat functioning adult(ish) :P
Anyway that being said......that childlike beilef is what Christ wants us as Christians to also have. And let me tell you....adults have NOTHING under total control...there is always one thing missing or going wrong no matter how hard we try or where we are in life.
Kids have no worries, no inhabitions, no fears keeping them from truly living life.
So even tho kids may usually cause us old fuddy duddies to pull our hair out......they got it right.
As scary as this might sound...i think im going to suite up and learn from kids up close and personal with them....uh....ok....how bout start with one....yeah.....one.....that might be a safer idea...lol jk
