Child-like heart

It's about that time to jot a thought or two.

Today I was awed by the kiddos at the camp I work at. The have such an incredible capacity to love so purely and wholeheartedly. There is so much to learn from listening to and observing children. Their innocence and pleasure in daily life is so breath-taking.

A common theme I've seen among multiple children is their desire to give what they've made to others around them. They LOVE displaying their work and giving the teacher drawings, bracelets, and anything that they created in art. They delight in making the teacher happy by freely giving what they worked so hard to create--and it blessed the teacher's socks off!

I want to have that pure heart that loves to please my Father. I absolutely delighted in the kiddo's creations---and I can only imagine how much our heavenly Father delights in the things we put our hands to. I want to be able to give freely to those around me and get enjoyment simply from giving.

Thank you Papa for a marvelous day at camp and all the beautiful hearts that exist there-in. Give me a child-like heart to love so purely and wholeheartedly.
