Driving me crazy?


One of my favorite things in life are children!

They always bring an abundant joy that cannot be explained, their words are so sweet, like that of a song, and their love is so REAL that it cannot compare to any other LOVE here on earth.

Rolling around on the floor doing circles faster then my eyes could see, I ask my 3 year old neice, "What are you doing silly girl."

"I am driving you crazy auntie..."

I couldn't help but laugh at the tender joy that brought to my morning. So, she's driving me crazy? Well, I thought to myself, if this is how you will drive me crazy, keep going!

A child can find joy from something so simple, it amazing to me. Rolling around, a paper box that can be a spaceship, a paper plate that can be a mask, a new toy, an ice cream cone, Christmas lights....

Why when we grow up, we find it hard to love the simple things? Why can we no longer find the joy in simply rolling around on the floor? Why do these little things really drive us crazy?

I guess today what I'd like to say is, what drives you crazy? The girl who won't shut up? A bad hair day? Work? Whatever it is, I give you the challenge to LOOK that thing right in the face and say... "HA, you're not gonna drive me crazy anymore, as a matter of fact, I am going to LOVE it when this happens, and laugh it off!"

Proverbs 15:13 - "A happy heart makes the face cheerful..."
