Love each day.

"What is it to be a child? It is very different from the man of today. It is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper into your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has their own fairy godmother in their soul."

It always seems to amaze me how innocent and happy children seem to be. So after re-finding this quote from on old journal entry I got to thinking- because we are all God's children we should hold onto him and be pleased with him just as a child is with the magic of fairy godmothers. God himself may not change pumpkins into coaches before our very eyes but He is certainly capable of things so much more powerful and meaningful. If a child can believe in all the things of childhood why can't people just believe in our merciful and all powerful God.
I was thinking about the innocence of childhood and what it would look like to have innocence for God. The definition of innocence says "purity: the state of being unsullied (spotlessly clean and fresh) by sin or moral wrong; lacking a knowledge of evil" To think that having innocence for God just might be opening our eyes and hearts to the loveliness of everything He has created in this world. Perhaps it is just to see the beauty and enjoy the moments as they are given.

Ever since returning from camp I have seen such spiritual growth in all the lovely ladies I am bless to know. There is just a happiness and reminder to love each day and we all continue to walk, grow, and be apart of blessings God provides. It seems that every time I am not sure what to make of something God comes through with a blessing bigger and better than I could have imagined. So thankful for that.

I am leaving you with a photo of a little friend I found the other day. I greatly enjoyed his presence and the dreamy quality of the some of the images. :)
