Can we learn from children?

“Kids will remind you that, even though you’ve gone down a road 100 times, it’s brand new for them – and that’s healthy.” – Matthew McConaughey, actor

I found that quote in the June 2014 Reader’s Digest under “Quotable Quotes”.

“He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: ‘I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.'”

You find those verses in the Bible in Matthew 18:2,3 and the Lord Jesus Christ is speaking.

As you can see, the answer is, “Yes, we can learn from children! And I hope we do!

“Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake.” – Psalm 79:9

On a fine day, this morning the weather was fine, looking through our window, I can see the bus picking up tourists from the Bed & Breakfast places almost next door to us. The bus is taking them to Cape Reinga to the very north of New Zealand.

One of these days, when the weather is really glorious, I must jump on the bus myself to meet the tourists. They are almost from all over the world.
