I had the pleasure of spending some time with the Pre-K through second grade during recess on Monday. It was fun to see their friendships, their made-up games, their craziness, and their curiosity. At one point, I saw about seven kids gathering around the fence excitedly pointing at something. I went over to check it out, and saw the source of their joy—a cricket. I had to stop a couple boys who had the urge to squish the little guy, and they soon lost interest. The girls stayed and discussed the cricket for a bit. They decided he/she was an adult cricket because of his size. I loved the wonder and curiosity they had for what adults would see as an insignificant “thing.” Jesus always gives us the message to be child-like, and here is one of the clear reasons why that it. Don’t forget to find joy in little creatures even if they give you the heebie-jeebies.
