I was recently working from my laptop/........when I peered over the top of it, only to find one of my precious children.......playing with their food right in front of me. Instantly, all the mondane work I was just moments ago so intent on completing--seemed increasingly UNimportant! After all, my daughter was only inches from my screen--my face. Yet I was completely engrossed in the task at hand. Thank GOD I looked up! Thank GOD I realized that HE was showing me that the MOST important thing is being a MOM!
So I watched her a little longer........completely adoring the brilliant imagination that she has. How she can play with two slices of an orange and make up a story so vivid, you would feel as if you've watched it on a screen! When she caught me watching her, she stopped. Then laughed. Then told me the WHOLE story......and it was adorable! So the potato chip was trying to sneak into the healthy food convention.......and the orange rolled over top of the potato chip. Making the potato chip "crunch" underneath the weight of the orange. That meant that the potato chip was recognized and immediately removed from the healthy convention!
What a story--what great detail and what an imagination!!! I love the mind of children! I love their innocence and how they can become so completely enthralled with their creativeness!!! Thank you God for blessing me with children.....who give meaning to my life every day! And who give pure enjoyment by just being themselves!!!
