“I tell you solemnly, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven” (Matthew 18:3).
Wouldn’t this new year be a good time for us to embark on the adventure of becoming childlike again? Have you watched little children playing lately? They giggle over the wonders of about-to-be-blown-away dandelions. They squeal with the excitement of seeing a yo-yo climb back on its string. They caress kittens and taste snowflakes and talk to imaginary friends. For most of us, such scenes rustle up memories deep inside us — memories of a time when life was simpler and sweeter.
