I'm having an issue with being an Adult. It's so much running around with never any time to enjoy things... I remember as a kid it was so easy to go on a road-trip and watch the scenery. Now, I go on a road trip, and I'm doing 90 on the highway to get from point A to point B... This apparently has become my new thrill... Weird isn't it? I know there are many, like me, who are searching for the days of our youth. We get told that it's just us being nostalgic, but is it really? Or do we know what they don't.
My favorite Scripture says "When I was a child I thought like a child. But now that I am a man, I have put childish ways behind me." Now it boggles the mind when Christ tells us to be childlike... But I guess that's where the difference comes in. Being childlike is remembering what it was like to be a child, not thinking like a child, but running through sprinklers.... it's playing Flag football with your cousins, it's learning not to be so stuffy.. It's remembering what it was like to walk through your favorite city at your favorite time of day or night, with your favorite person knowing that there is no where else you need to be... No where else your thoughts need to be. It's remembering that change is OK. It's about remembering that when you fall off the bike, you shake the dirt off, and get back on cause that's the only way you'll learn how to ride.....
