A couple times in the book, Colton's dad talks about child-like faith. This is how we are supposed to enter heaven... with this sort of mindset and attitude. The bluntness and openness of a child's faith is something to be admired.
As I have mentioned before, I work with elementary aged kids. About 40 on average every day with ages ranging between 5-11. Today we were all out on the playground and I was sitting on the pavement observing and keeping my eye on all of them. I started praying and talking with God. "If we are supposed to have child-like faith, and here I am surrounded daily by children, there has got to be something for me to learn!" I continued my conversation and invited God into my day and thoughts. Later on we were back outside on the playground and all of the sudden I had a burst of energy and joy come over me. I'm not entirely sure why... maybe God could tell I was tired. :)
One of the chapters in this book is called Jesus Really Loves The Children. I completely believe it. Although they can be challenging, trust me I know, there are such an amazing blessing. I have a "lead teacher" position at my job, but I feel like this summer God wants me to be the student.
