Isn't funny to sit and watch kids play? Its like they don't know anyone else is there. I can remember (n the days before my brother and sister) I would pretend that I was Roger Staubauch winning a super bowl championship in my back yard. If you ever go to one of those 'play' areas in a mall you can hear them playing long before you see them. Running, jumping, screaming, twirling, sliding, and bounding they go inside the little place. Have you ever watched them? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be that care free? Have you ever wanted to go back and be that care free? I can tell you I have. To be so wide open. To be so innocent and accepting. There is just something about children that makes me feel good and innocent and pure. It like they have no motives for their actions (well, that's not exactly true but you know what I mean). They are easy to teach and mold is what I mean. Maybe this is why Jesus says 'they' are what we should model our faith after. Not that we are become children in our actions but to be 'like' them in our faith...open, accepting, humble, wide-eyed, simple, innocent, playful, loyal to our father. I don't know, there is just something about that passage I love. There is something about Jesus' words that hit me hard. I wish I weren't so adult-like all the time...maybe I would understand his words better.
