Today is the best day of his life. Wow. All it took to make this the best day of his 4 yr. old life was a little flour left over in a measuring cup. From there, he has created a masterpiece! Sam has been playing the in kitchen now for well over an hour. He asked me, " Am I creative?" Why, yes, Sam you are! Flour, water, left over corn, the juice of a grape, a granola bar, lettuce, mint from the garden, salt (lots of it), pepper, and lots of love.
I think this is what Jesus meant when he said we must come to him as children. We come curious, full of hope, imagination and creativity. We come believing that we have all the ingredients we need, provided by the Master, to create a masterpiece. We just need to be creative.
Now there is a mess to clean up, but oh well! It serves as a reminder that God has gifted me with my children, and sometimes I need to leave the flour out so they can bless me!
