My son and I were in the post office. He noticed photos on the wall of different
people. He turns to me and asked who
were those people. I told him the police wants us to help them capture the
people. He asked how? I continued to
tell him if we saw the person to call the hot line and tell the police where we
saw them. Then, he ask me, why didn’t the police keep them when they took the
picture. I stopped and looked at my child. Sometimes children say the most amazing
things. They see what adults can’t see because their minds are innocent; not
clouded with preconceived notions adults developed as they grow into adulthood. Children
teach us things we’ve forgotten like:
·
Sharing
·
Trust
·
Forgiveness
Someone can do evil to a child in their class, and an hour
later, it’s as if it never happened.
Someone mistreat us at work and we are cutting our eyes at them, working an evil revenge to get back at them, forever. Children pushed down by another kid on
purpose or accident, they cry it out and back to business as usual. Someone
bumps us in the mall and we rush up to them making them apologize or shoot
them. God’s Words says
forgive and children do it. Get this, they can’t read. His Word says the same thing to adults,
we read it and we don’t do it.
I think our children are onto something. However, when they are
our age, they will lose it, or will they?
If we change our ways, maybe they won’t. Let’s have childlike
thinking so our children don't lose their innocence. Plus, it's the right thing to do according to Mark 10: 14-16, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
