We had Nathan's birthday party today and it was great fun. Thankfully the weather was perfect so the kids played on the water slide all morning. Kids parties are exhausting, but they are a wonderful reminder of how we should embrace life with joy. Kids are so innocent and hold no pretences - it is refreshing to be around them as they respond to Life.
You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again. ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, 1762
Despite the innocence of childhood, we still need to do all we can to protect and nurture our younger generations. This quote speaks volumes on this...
"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." ~Frederick Douglass
Smile like a child and laugh for the fun of it.
Living in Grace,
