Simplicity
Walking across campus today, I saw these two adorable Asian toddlers playing in the gravel. It was the sweetest sight- them picking up double handfuls of rocks just to drop them onto the cement beside them, with the most delighted smiles on their faces! I found myself smiling just because they were-- the sheer happiness expressed on their tiny little faces was just too contagious. It made me wish for delight in such simplicity-- and then I realized that so often God offers us that, but instead we seek a million other difficult things in which to find satisfaction. For a moment I had it there, looking at those two sweet children, and realizing the smile spreading across my face was just a gift from Him. Father- I LOVE to see all the ways you make me smile! Please don't let me overlook it when you pursue me in simplicity!
