I hope you have been taking some time this week to look at your world with the eyes of a child. As a follow up to what I wrote last week, I would like to share with you two things I have experienced.
One of the things that brought joy to my cousin were butterflies. In fact, she hatched butterflies and they could always be seen flitting about her yard. For years I have tried and tried to attract butterflies to my yard and have never had much success. Now, every time I step into my backyard, I see butterflies fluttering about. I don't know if this is just an exceptional year for butterflies or what, but I am going to accept this gift as a message from God. I believe that He is telling me that just as the caterpillar breaks out of his cocoon and experiences new life as a beautiful butterfly, so my cousin is experiencing a beautiful new life with God. Seeing the butterflies brings me great comfort.
The other thing that I wanted to share with you comes straight off my list of childhood joys. Today while I was sitting and enjoying my backyard, I looked up to see dandelion hair floating across my backyard. Unable to contain myself, I jumped up, chased it all around the yard, and finally caught it! It was fun acting like a child! It brought a little laughter to my life.
I hope that wherever you are, you will take a few moments to enjoy your day and see the world with the eyes of a child.
I will post a new meditation on Thursday on discovering your inner light. See you Thursday!

One childhood memory came to me today. I was turning on the sprinkler in the backyard and when I did, it sprayed me. It brought back memories of playing in the sprinkler every summer when I was a child.
