Wonderful
It is the simple things that bring me great joy.
At the top of my earthly list is my family. Nothing is greater than the unconditional love received from a child. No matter how bad my day has been, just seeing their faces and the excitement they have after being away all day is something that cannot be replaced.
They see the world with wonderment and awe: amazed that God would think of creating something as great as a tree. "Birds get to live there." "They keep me cool when it's hot." "We can build a fort." "They make pretty leaves.
I drop my 4 year old son of at school and he runs in excited to great his friends, but as I turn to leave, he comes running back to me to give me a goodbye kiss and tell me to have a great day. I stop a the store on my way to work and the clerk tells me to have a nice day. The difference between the two is that with my son you can tell he actually means it.
For kids, what you can do is more important that what you can't do and giving a piggy back ride is probably one of the best things you can do.
Even when things may make it seem as though it's not, life is wonderful.
