Today as I walked with my daughter, I noticed how differently she looks at the world. To her, the world is a wonderful place. She does not see the wickedness or evil that we do. She sees the beauty all around her. She hears the dog barking and is excited that she is going to see a "puppy". We hear the dog barking and wishes he would just be quiet. She sees the dandelions all over the place and sees them as beautiful flowers, we see them as weeds. She sees the puddles as a playground, we see them as inconvenient as they get us and our vehicles dirty.
As I began to look at the world through her eyes, I realized how thankful for everything she is. She does not complain but enjoys the simple things in life. She does not wish for things she does not have, she enjoys what she does have. She does not know the difference between rich or poor, she appreciates everything mommy and daddy give her. She sees everyday as another day to play and live life. She never complains about Mondays or wishes for Friday - everyday is a good day to her.
God is so good to my daughter and she counts her blessings without even realizing she does so. Do we do the same? If we all looked at the world and life through a child's eyes, would our lives be different? Would they be happier and more fulfilled?
