There is so much beauty and wonder to absorb in this experience we call life.  God has gifted us with such a beautiful portal through which to experience life.  This planet, each other, our bodies and our minds. Children know this because they are just starting out.  They delight each time they learn something new.  You can see it in their eyes.  It is as though their hearts and their spirits jump with excitement the moment they assimilate something new.  If they are old enough to express it verbally they will often tell you over and over what they have learned.  Somewhere along the way we lose that.  We take on a stance of thinking we are supposed to know things we don’t know simply because there are things we do know.  This robs us of the excitement and joy that comes from learning new things each moment. Things about our world, the people around us, our bodies, and our minds.  When I go into a situation thinking I know how it is going to turn out or how so and so is going to respond, I essentially cut myself off from being present to it.  I can then miss the gift of the interaction and lose the learning that might come from the process.  I think this is part of what Jesus meant when he talked about being like little children.  When I am teachable, I am humble, and I am open.  My prayer for us today is that we have the courage to let go of what we think we know and be willing to walk into one experience today open to what we can learn.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
