Matthew 18: 3-4 and he(Jesus) said, I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.  Therefore whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

How do children act?  Quite often children look at everything with joy, excitement, curiosity, and innocence.  They seem to embrace new things humbly and cheerfully.  A child may try something new just for the sake of trying it.  Not caring or even knowing if he/she did it well.  A child will color a picture and make the sky purple for instance, just because it looks good to them.  Or jump in a puddle just because it was there.

Try living life like a child; enjoy each day that God gives you and treat it as a gift.  Do something creative. Make a new friend. Try something new that you feel God put on your heart.  Don’t worry about tomorrow and don’t stress out about the past.  For today put on a smile in faith.  Ask God to help you feel his presence and enjoy your day.  Smile : )

Please pray with me – Dear Lord thank you that we can come to you like children.  Teach us to enjoy life and let go of the worries of this world.  Help us to live a joyful abundant life in Christ.  We smile up at you and say “thanks dad” for the gift of this life and the gift of Christ.  Amen
