Children
Did you ever catch lighting bugs as a kid? I did and loved it until I got older and realized that I was catching BUGS! Then I stopped. Tonight my little nephews called me outside and asked ME to help them catch lighting bugs. I didn’t get any for them but I gave it my best effort just for them. I think that it is a gift to be around children. I love to help and care for them especially when they trust you, asking for your help and it isn’t a forced thing.
No, I’m not some sick person that messes with kids. I just treasure having them around and seeing how they live. They are so trusting and loving to every one. You might stink or not look good. They don’t care they just think you are cool for some reason all there own. Yes, they might say something to you about how you smell or what you are wearing, but they love you any way. Have you ever watched a child launch themselves at someone expecting that person to catch them? That is trust complete and untarnished by the harsh world what we live in. I think that this is why Jesus said that if we are to be saved we have to come to him as a little child. Totally trusting Him and taking our hands off by letting God have the complete control (yes, I’m on the hands off kick again. I will be there for a while.) Then there is the innocence that each child has that is taken away by the world as they grow older. Yet still, there is nothing in the world like having a child come up to you, through their arms around your neck and tell you that they love you. I treasure that every time it happens.
