becoming child like

I have had a very busy day. This afternoon I picked up my 4 year old niece, she starts pre-k on friday so I wanted to spend some time with her.................we played at the park and then went to the golden arches for dinner and to play some more..................as I watched her laugh and play I was remined of the scripture where God tells us to become as little children to inherit the kingdom.Think about it children are very trusting, they believe , they are very forgiving creatures,they are very passionate, full of life and energetic and they laugh at the drop of a hat. As I watched I found myself thinking I wish I could be like that and the truth is we all can. I'm not talking about being childish , that is a whole different ballgame. I'm talking about being deeply rooted in the love of God, trusting Him fully, even when things don't make sense and we don't understand all that is going on . A believe a key to this kind of life is found in the book of phillipians Be anxious for nothing but by prayer and supplication let our requests be made known to God .And God's peace which transcends all understanding shall mount guard over your hearts and minds ..........Cast your care on God b/c He cares for you......children are totally dependent on their parents........as we depend on our Heavenly Father in this same manner ,we can be free.........free to live, laugh, cry, free to be what He has destined us to be, knowing that our Abba Father has everything in control..................laugh a lot it is contagious
