The girls are just now really getting into telling stories and playing pretend--Emma especially. We have a new mirror in the living room and just last week she started talking to herself in it. She will stand there and tell off long tales. It is sooo cute and funny. And Abigail, well she is in to telling tall tales too, mostly about all the things Emma has done to her. Which I am sure in her little mind have really happened at some time or other. Her #1 tale: "Mom, Emma pinch!" Half the time Emma is in another room or strapped in her carseat...the fun begins :)! They are both developing the most amazing imaginations. It is nothing for them to dream big. When I think about this verse I think about how God doesn't have to work through all of that doubt and unbelief like he does with us. As we get older, we lose a lot of our imagination and our ability to dream. We often become cynical and loaded down with the cares of the world. God wants us to dream BIG. He wants us to take all of our cares and cast them into the fire. And then, like our children BELIEVE those dreams will come true. My problem isn't dreaming, my problem is believing....believing that what I dream is possible. Doubt always rears its ugly head and I fall prey to it every time.(but God and I are working on that everyday)
God, thank you that children have such vivid imaginations. Help me to learn from them! AMEN.
