Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
- Matthew 19:14
There are certainly a lot of big, serious events going on in each of our lives and all around us. And while it is important to keep up with our busy schedules, it is all too easy to get caught up in the whirlwind. Our eyes can be so focused on making our way through it that we forget to see and enjoy the little things in life.
The scene of young children simply and truly enjoying each other and being silly together is a wonderful thing to witness. It can be such an encouragement and example to us when we take the time to observe.
Let's be encouraged by the little children around us, and try and take a moment today to pause and enjoy something simple in our life.
