The Child in You

As children everything we saw was fun and every new experience was a great adventure. We would go down on our knees to peer at an army of ants curious about the long single line they’re making and although we sulk and mope all day, we snapped out of it as quickly as we finished off our fries. Remember a cone of ice cream on your hand with every friend’s tongue on it? Such generous and open hearts we had, a time for wonder. When did that all go now and when did everything got so serious?

Between that age of childhood and right now, we lost it. Life has become a race to be responsible adults but how else could we cope with life it we can’t be responsible living it. But is becoming responsible adult means a long face and a boringly serious attitude toward life?

In the world of reality, not everything is funny but does that mean that we have no business laughing and enjoying life? And in the course of living a responsible life, we should sacrifice the ability to laugh and junk the gift of joy and look glum because we are adults? It is time to put the smile back on our faces, time to laugh again and see the world through childlike eyes with a mind always seeking new wonders and adventure, a heart always trusting and believing. Get back the ability to seek out the good and learn to delight in the simple pleasures in life. Even the Lord loves a cheerful heart.
