Through the Eyes of a Child...
I was walking to another building on our campus here at work this morning. I had to deliver something. It was so nice to go outside and have a change of scenery. On the sidewalk in front of me I noticed 2 extra large bugs, clinging to eachother. They were obviously mating but that is not the interesting thing about it. I stopped and stared at them. They looked like they were straight out of a rainforest, or perhaps the jungle. They were monster bugs and they were fascinating. Each of them was about 2 inches long, with large bulging eyes, and iredescent green / purple wings. They kind of looked like a mutant cross between a grasshopper and a cicada.
I probably stood there for 2 minutes looking at them. More than looking, I was studying them... I so wished Kayla was with me so we could talk about these bugs. I so wished I could show them to her.
I thought about my actions and laughed to myself. Everything in the world seems so new and so interesting to me these days. I find myself noticing things and analyzing things that I never would have even payed attention to before Kayla came into my life. I strive to teach her about the world. I try to take time to stop and show her things and I try to explain things to her in ways that she will understand.
I am blessed to have been given this new world view. Now I am seeing the world through the eyes of a child. I have regained the inquisitive, excited nature of a child thanks to Kayla. What an amazing gift I have been given. I am so thankful for her in so many ways and all the ways she has changed my life. Not only do I take time to stop and smell the roses but also take time to stop and study the bugs.
