Simple

On the left is my great grandson enjoying something sweet. i was in MB but I think it is his birthday cake. On the right is Madison Surgeons who is hunting for Easter eggs. Both happy with life as it presents itself before them. We had a focus on Sunday geared toward the upcoming parenting conference. The gospel picked was Jesus desiring that the little ones not be kept from Him. The warning is that you cannot get to the kingdom of God without receiving it like a little one. Children are easily swayed to happiness or sadness. They don't hide who they are or what they feel. They respond honestly to the moment. They are authentic and genuine human beings. If the world does not teach them to hide and pretend they will always simply respond to life with the same honesty and integrity. It can take a lifetime to get back to childhood in that manner. I know I'm not completely there but I do believe I am mostly at peace in my own skin. Mostly I can be me without masks and pretenses. I've always said that I don't wish to go back to any earlier part of my life. I have found every stage of life better than the one before. Lately I would modify that if Marsha could be back with me, but not including that, perhaps early childhood would be the exception. It is what God wants from us. Just be yourself, the one you were created to be.
