When exactly is the day....
When, exactly, is the day that we lose the wonder? The wonder of watching birds fly, imagining pictures in the clouds, failing to smell the flowers that grow by the front door? When is a stick just a stick and not a sword, a tree just a tree and not something to look at and think, "I could climb that."? When is it that we lose the idea that a few cups, a box and a toy monkey are all we need in life to create endless laughter and play? I'm not sure, but I hope these days of wonder last longer than I think they will... because as I watch my little treasures play and dream and imagine and create, and I think of myself, sadly, being so busy and planned and orchestrated.... I wonder, when exactly did I lose it... and thank God they've come to take me back.

Absolutely precious.
That is a lot to think about and so true. I have to remind myself sometimes that my to do list is not as important as those precious little moments that often get overlooked. Hope you guys are doing well.
beautifully said..and so so true.I thank God all the time for the gift of children- that we can learn so much through them..
I love this comment and believe God gives us glimpses of life through a child's eyes for exactly this reason!
