as a little child

Lately I have really understood the meaning of becoming as a little child. When Jesus commanded us to become as little children, I think I know what he means. Children are so loving and forgiving and accepting and friendly, and I could go on and on about the positive role models children can be. My daughter is so loving and happy and energetic and wants to feel loved and safe and feel peace. Sometimes when my husband and I get into an arguement and our vocies get louder, she says, No No No, shshsh. Be still, I feel she is trying to tell us. I know we are not perfect parents and we might have a tiff here and there, but she knows that it is not necesarry to argue or raise our voice or be hard/rude or mean to another person. We need to try and become like our children. Children are perfect to a certain age and understanding. I love it when my daughter tries to help me and tries to tell me she loves me and hugs me and gives me kisses at anytime. Why can't we as adults be more willing to forgive quicker and to be more kind and loving and willing to talk to complete strangers by saying hello or smiling more. Children are the reason for this strong message, love one another as I have loved you.

Lori....hope you don't mind me posting on your blog? I totally agree with you. It's amazing how your kids catch onto every vibe going on in the house, it truly is motivation to keep a happy home so that they have a place to find refuge, love, comfort and acceptance. (there are so many more adjetives I could use but you get the point)
Anyway, so true. Hope you have a great weekend. Talk to you later.
