Have We Really Changed?
When you have kids, you realize
that you haven’t really changed
that much. All I really wanna do,
still, is to dig around in the crunchy
leaves and find a caterpillar or a
salamander and name him Kevin
and make mud pies and walk barefoot
in an ice-cold creek, looking for fossils.
I want to believe in that old Loch
Ness monster magic, and paint
with my fingers, moving the colors
without trying to get it just right. I
want to eat goldfish crackers in my
bathing suit in the sunshine on an
old beach towel in the backyard. I
want popsicles and long naps and
to know that someone else is holding
all things together by the word of His
power and is seated at the right hand
of the Majesty on high forever. Amen.
I cracked up at naming the salamander Kevin! My granddaughter is naming everything Ruby right now 😊 And my nine year old granddaughter insists on naming all my chickens after candy…I currently have Toblerone…but that could change!
Amen
