Have you ever gone for a walk along the beach with a toddler? Every tiny pebble they encounter is a moment of amazement and joy – strung into a series of celebrations each time a new pebble is encountered. For the first time, we see the pebbles through a child’s eyes: the colors are more vibrant, the shape is exquisite, the size is just perfect…
Every August, when parents drop off their little ones at our school door, they seem to have that same eagerness to share a wondrous gift with us. Without words necessarily, but definitely with the same kind of wonder in their eyes, they present us with an exquisite person of beauty, hoping we, too, see the same beauty contained within.
Today’s Goal: Lord, may I begin each day with the wonder, openness and trust of a toddler.
