Children

Children are the light of the world, plain and simple. They are some of the best teachers that life has to offer because, despite their lack of experience, they have an insight into the universe that adults seem to have lost somewhere along the way. There is so much wonder, excitement and energy in youth that can be taken as inspiration to those around them. Even if you don't have children of your own, chances are, there are little angels all around you. Have you ever observed a child who has just discovered his ability to do something new on his own? The pride and sense of accomplishment is something that, as adults, we should strive to feel in our small achievements. Have you ever watched a child ponder the world, quietly taking in scenery and surroundings? This is also something that adults rarely take the time to do. This world that we live in is full of wonders, precious gifts and moments that can slip by us in the every day hustle and bustle of life.

If you are lucky enough to have a child in your home - biologically yours or not - take a moment every single day to appreciate them, to tell them you love them and are grateful for them. You are their guides on a portion of their Spiritual Journey that they will either treasure forever as a gift from God or see as an obstacle they've had to overcome. Be your children's bounty, learn from them and share an experience that will one day turn into memories that you can look back on and smile.

Affirmation for today:
I take every opportunity to live life with the excitement and joy of a young child. I am grateful for the youth in my life that teach me how to live a better life.

Prayer for today:
Thank you, Spirit, for all of your little angels that you've blessed my life with. Thank you for the opportunity to watch them grow and in doing so, blossom myself.
