My God Is So Big

"While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about." ~Angela Schwindt

Tonight was Family Pizza Night at Owen's preschool.  We enjoyed a little dinner and some musical entertainment from our favorite little guys and girls.  Today, during his "nap time" I caught him practicing the motions in the mirror. I debated whether or not to wipe the grin off my face in exchange for my best "this is not a good choice" face, but decided to let the adorable moment win out.

Then, this afternoon, he got his bathroom stool out to perform for us. It has been so much fun to watch his confidence and excitement for learning grow.

His convincing rendition:

Melts my heart.

And if you really lean in and listen closely, it feels like they are teaching us. We spend so much of our time guiding them through life, while all along they hold the meaning. With their hearts open---uncluttered by insecurities, preconceived notions, doubts and fears.  They see past a person's appearance, flaws or missteps right into their heart. They speak their minds, use their imaginations, live in the moment...and they believe with such a pure faith and loving heart.
