The Innocence of Children

Hope you had a good and happy weekend.

It was busy around here but really terrific.

There were two birthday bashes to attend as well as a church yard sale, a cut-a-thon, and on and on.

At one of the birthday celebrations, I spent some time in the backyard with my nieces' children. The air was cool but the sun's bright rays poured down and warmed us.

It was fun to see the little ones running, jumping, rolling over in the soft, green grass, and enjoying every moment of life.

You should have seen the faces of the children when they  blew bubbles. Something as simple as soap bubbles made their faces light up with wonder.

They raised their hands in the air and clapped, chased the rainbow colored bubbles, and laughed heartily. Those were such magical moments.

We can learn so much from children----their innocence, their enthusiasm for the littlest things in life and from their ability to derive sheer joy just from being alive.

IN WHAT WAYS ARE YOU STILL A CHILD?
