CHRISTMAS THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD

CHRISTMAS THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD

I am enjoying spending time with my sweet little four month old grandson.  Watching him experience things for a first time is such a wonderful thing.  His little eyes will widen when he is introduced to something new.

There are so many lessons for us when we look through the eyes of a child.  If we take a minute to really "see" what is around us, we can learn so much.  We also then have the ability to see things in a different light.

Here are my lessons of what I learn as I observe a child:

• The smallest details are often the easiest to overlook yet can provide the most joy and lessons.

• Take time to truly "observe" things.  Study them, feel them.

• Find joy in the things around yourself.  You may find that something very familiar has been overlooked.

• Learn to laugh more.  Marvel in the mundane and hold dear the joy that is all around.

May you see Christmas this year in a renewed way.  Enjoy the simple things.  Take time to soak it all in.

Merry Christmas my friends!
