The End of the Rainbow...

I love to be with my grandsons and share in the wonderment of childhood innocence and dreams.  They can make life seem so simple.

My grandson saw this photo on the computer and asked me "Grandma, can we go to the end of the rainbow and can we get the pot of gold, then we'll be rich and we can go to Africa and see all the animals." I of course concur with his pure belief and let him know that all things are possible. I don't tell him it is too expensive, or we won't have enough money...I encourage him that it will happen and in following my own dream, I will make it happen.

He is secure with that, and I am secure in saying it. It is never too late I tell him to dream big, and believe big. And I talk in our quiet moments of God and share with him in the most simple way to trust God and in time all his hopes and dreams will come to be. He throws his arms around me and says "Love you grandma, yea" he yells "we are going to Africa."

So whatever your dreams are spend a few minutes with a child before they are filled with worldly  thoughts. We can return to our childlike innocence and that is when we grow in wisdom, remain curious, and are still excited about learning something new and fun.

Be childlike in your walk with God and you will be amazed at what comes forth to greet you. If you stop learning and growing what is the purpose of this life? Since we don't have all the answer, attempt to learn some truths about you and those around you.

My grandson makes me laugh, gives me pause for thought, and loves me unconditionally. That is how God wants us to love one another, just watch the children and learn. Sit on the floor and play like you did when you were a child, it really is fun. Whether we play Tic Tac Toe, Jacks, put together a puzzle or color, it sets my mind free and I remain open to all possibilities...that is how we start out in life, sometimes we must return to the mind of a child and all the possibilities it brings.

God is waiting to hear from you. Go ahead give him a call. And watch how your life can and will never be the same.

That friend today is my grandson Collin.
