Day 3 of the #scripturechallenge - This verse is Mathew 18:3 "And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
Monday, I spent the day with Jackson for his Birthday. It seemed to summarize how I feel about his verse.
We went to the Crab Shack for lunch and he couldn't stop looking out of the window checking out all of the things he didn't usually see. He was so excited that he wanted me to take a picture of him hugging a fake light house. It was late for lunch and he got a little testy but was quick to apologize when he was corrected. Later, when given options to do many different things he wanted to go see his Nanny (Great Grandmother) instead. It reminded me so much of being little and wanting to hang out with my grandmother, her sisters, and the other women in my family. 
❤ (How I miss them.)

Yet as we get older, don't we often get our nose so close to the grind, that we forget to look up and allow ourselves to be mystified--or to marvel at even the tiniest of things. Even when we know we're wrong, we still want to be justified instead of corrected.--Even when it brings restoration. Children pretty much love who they love [their family] without questions or rules. Demographics and status are of no importance.
I'm actually too tired to write tonight but you get the idea. There are many areas where we could take notes from a child. I hope this verse continues to speak.
