Sunshine and Dandelions

God has taught me many MANY great thing working with little ones, but one of my favorites is constant wonder.

Its easy to get used to what we see everyday. There are things we mentally acknowledge are nice without ever really taking time to notice. Stuff just sort of all blends together. Its just sort of all vaguely nice together. Though we complain when it's gone, we hardly notice things like grass, sunshine, and flowers. We don't really think about them.

Kids are different though: they're so little and they see things like its the first time. Probably because for the littler ones it really IS the first time. To them, the little things are astounding. Their little eyes bug out and their little faces light up with a smile as they bring their perspective to what I sometimes call mundane. Dandelions are better then daffodils because you can pick them. Rolling down a hill is fascinating. Wow those clouds move. And bugs ? Oh man where do you even start with bugs?Its like a never ending treasure hunt.

Which in a way, is a how God designed the world to be. A never ending treasure hunt to discover more about Him through the world and the way He made it.
