I love the toddler poem. It so reminds me of all of my time with little Nathan and the wonder in his little eyes as he saw or realized something for the first time. There’s a reason God says to come to Him as a little child. We should always approach God with awe and wonder as if it’s our first time to really see Him.

Amen! It is a God-inspired blessing that we adults can experience such moments. I treasure these interactive times with my three daughters as well as several grandchildren.

“The thief
left it behind
the moon at the window.”
