Our
church is full of young families; full of young families with young children. I enjoy watching the children play. I can see their minds working all out, never,
ever stopping. They want to learn everything
now! Their parents are running around
trying to catch up with them; trying to protect them. The more dangerous things like stairs act as
magnets drawing them to try it. These
children watch the adults all the time to learn. In childish minds there is no thought, “I
can’t do it.” My body is made so I can
spin around endlessly without getting dizzy.
It is a part of my unique design.
It baffles these young ones who try and try, only to become dizzy and
fall down. This makes me a kind of
hero.
I
am reminded that I am being watched.
What exactly do I want to communicate?
I think it might be more important to model useful things. Now what could I model? I could model joyfulness, even in tough
circumstances. I could model kindness. I could model helpfulness. I could model obedience. I could model the love of Jesus. I can show them a person praising God with
abandon. I cannot talk to them, and I am
different, but I can point them to Jesus.
I can accept them as they are, and love them. Each one unique, but each of us made in the
image of God. Wow! That should keep me busy for a while!
