Dance to the Music

Sometimes, I wish I could become a little child again! Life was soo much simpler when we were young. We didn't ever have to worry about anything, especially money, and life was always so full of interesting things and surprises. When we wanted to play, we played. When we wanted to eat, we ate. No worrying about schedules or what other people want or think! The whole world was ours to discover!! Yesterday, I was watching my two boys playing together, sharing their toys (which was surprising because they're 3yrs and 8mths!) and having a few good laughs. Shrek was playing on the t.v. but they ignored it because they had eachother and a few cars. Once the movie ended and the karaoke songs came on, they both looked up at the t.v. at the same time and they both started to "Dance to the Music" (which happens to be one of the songs that they sang). It was soo cute to watch, my 3yr old jumping around waving his arms and singing, and my 8mth old laughing and moving his body while sitting on the ground! Such a simple thing, and yet so exciting for children! Why is it that we adults tend to forget to do the same? We are forever thinking about everything that we need to do, bills that we need to pay, places we need to go, people we need to call, etc. But the one most important thing that we forget is to enjoy the simpler things in life! So, as you read this short and simple thought, I want you to take one thing from it. Take the time to really open your eyes and look at the beautiful world around us because God created it for us to enjoy! And when you see or hear something interesting, make sure that you take the time to really watch and listen. And don't forget to "Dance to the Music" all around us!
