As a Child

“the heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s;
but the earth He has given to the children of men.”

Psalm 115:16
 

A little girl was riding on a train for the first time with her mother. She was looking through the window with eyes opened wide in wonder. She would say, “Look, Mama, cows! Look, Mama, horses! Oh, Mama, houses!” Being a bit embarrassed, the mother turned to those sitting nearby and said, “My daughter still thinks that everything is wonderful.”

Children have an innocence and faith that adults so often lose. As we grow older, we become discontent, resentful, negative, and unappreciative. No wonder God tells us to be as little children!

Thought for the Day:
Do you have a negative attitude
Or are you filled with wonder and appreciation?
