United States Map. Through the eyes of a child!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

A Father wanted to read a magazine, but was being bother by his little girl.  She wanted to know what the United States looked like, so, he tore a sheet out of the magazine he was reading that had a U. S. map. He then tore the map into pieces and gave them to the girl and said, go in the other room and put this together and then you will know what the United States looks like today.  In a few minutes, she returned with the map all taped and correctly put together.  Wow, said the dad, how did you get this done so quickley?

"Oh" said the girl, "on the otherside was a picture of Jesus, and when I had him back where he belonged, then our country just came together.

If a child can see that we need Jesus...wht's wrong with the rest of us???

What a nice way to put it, and this child had it all in perspective.  Now if us adults can just follow suit, the US would once again be headed in the right direction.

There is much to learn from children it seems.  Their lens seems so much clearer than the rest of ours.  I have two young daughters and many times have observed their black and white world with envy.  Maybe a good social experiment might be to put some children in a room and pose questions to them in a responsible manner and have them give some solutions.

Nice post.  I believe that if we as a country would turn to Jesus that we would come together.

The things we "oldies" can learn from our children. The days of dismissing kids to the back room has come and gone.

The kid's understand.  They just don't try as hard as we do to believe.
