Life.... seek out the inner child

In such a fast paced world at times I am amazed that any of walk away with any self image. Positive or negitive. I am not convinced that this techno age is all that wonderful. After all my android phone has a mind of it's own. I am amazed every day if it actually sends what I intend it too. I think I must be what they call an old soul. Often I find that I feel I don't belong in this world, it moves far too fast for me. But, then because we have this comes good things too. I remember many years ago when my youngest daughter was born prematurely. Back then it was considered a miracle she survived. Where as these days children born with the same disease it is not considered as scary as it was back then. So once again we see the ying with the yang. Opposites, without them we would never know a happy day if we didn't have sad ones. I am grateful for opposition in all things. Just as I am grateful to have been born to good parents that loved me. I am grateful I got my Bachelors of Science degree. (even if it is merely only a piece of paper that hangs in my office at home.) It's mine, I earned it. No one gave it to me. I am greatful that when I felt that all was lost it was given back 3 fold. I am greatful for children. My children, my grandchildren and all children throughout the world. I believe they are our greatest teachers! If you want to know something and have it come to you as purely as possible talk with a child. They don't mix words they say it just like it is. They are so close to heaven. The closest thing to heaven we have on earth. Yet inside of each of us lives a little child. Our deepest soul is that of a child and when we let it govern our lives life makes sence because it all becomes simple again. It is us adults that complicate life. It doesn't matter if another's view of life is different than that of my own. That is true freedom to think and feel for ourselves. They say that God's children are greater than the sands of the sea or the stars of the heavens yet, he knows each of us by name. Some may call it theory and maybe that might be true but what is faith? As I was taught Faith is believing in things that you can neither see or touch. I have faith that My Heavenly Father knows me by name and he loves me. That in itself is cause to rejoice!
