Children

"Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it at all." Mark 10:15 I started to think about all the things kids (specifically mine) really do understand.
1. They belly laugh over the silliest things.
2. They know Jesus will chase away the boogey man.
3. They know it's not nice to say people are fat.
4. They believe the Bible is true - all of it - without having to be SHOWN.
5. They will pray and believe that God really does hear.
6. They know that momma and daddy will always have enough money to take care of their needs.
7. They love their friends and draw pictures to show it.
8. If they want something they ask for it.
9. They think their grandparents are way cool.
10. They think their parents are way goofy, but that's their favorite part!
11. When they get hurt - they run to their momma or daddy - unashamed.
12. When they totally blow it they rat themselves out 'cause it just feels better to tell.
I seriously could go on and on, but I think it boils down to this - I really should pay more attention to their ways - I think the kingdom of God and all it's secrets are in dinosaur pajamas right down the hall.
