We are taught that to return to God we must become as little children. As I get more “experience” in life, I begin to understand this truth. Children are bright and happy. It doesn’t matter if they don’t have the luxuries of life. They are kind and forgiving. They are trusting of others. They are filled with love, naturally. These three beautiful children from Ghana were very happy to play together on a small mat while dad was eking out a living at work. We can learn a lot from them.

Yesterday seemed to be a very stressful day. My challenge is to find little moments of escape and peace. This is easy to do at the beach during a colorful sunset. But this is more difficult during the furry of our daily routines. I am grateful when I can find these small treasures of time. 

I had a wonderful visit today from my father and my younger sister. It was uplifting and fun to spend a few hours with them. I love them very much.
