I also love the part you wrote about learning from our children how to walk in childlike joy. I want that for myself and for my children who are now growing into adults and forgetting their carefree delight. I wrote a simple haiku with pictures of my oldest daughter for Independence Day. As she watches our country become more and more divided it has caused her to lose her joy. I pray for all our children that they will find their joy in knowing the love of their Creator and re-capture delight in expressing creativity. My daughter still has moments of childlike joy when she draws or paints. She created the Logo for my Substack for me. https://chandagriese.substack.com/p/the-future-of-america
Beautiful, Alli! I especially loved the end!
“May I too walk in this childlike joy,
Beaming through lips stained red with plenty,
Soaking in each moment,
Turning my face to the sun,
And trusting that in each season,
There is enough.”
Amen, amen, amen.
