Forever Blessed May You Be and The Child In Thee! As, the author reaches his golden years and that milestone of fifty, he is convinced of one and only one irrefutable fact. Children have an innate theotropism.
[1Ti 4:12 KJV] 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
A child would not entertain the idea of sticking plant material in his mouth and igniting it. It would seem unnatural and unwise.
A child would not entertain the idea of drinking the fermented stock of plant matter until he became nauseous and lost consciousness.
[1Co 2:14-15 KJV] 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
With the term "natural" meaning the untamed, uncivilized, unsocialized. As in, a tree which has grown and reached adulthood without proper pruning.
The author can infallibly state that, in the most important of ways, we grow increasingly imbecilic in important impulsions. Those of us who have some grey, gray, or silver in our hair are wise enough that we know that children are worth hearing! They have unique perspectives which might impact our world in the most wonderful of worlds. That is if we do not stifle the God-given dream which is in their hearts. Anyone been stifled? Was it pleasant seeing your dreams fade? Please do not stifle others. And, please, please, please pray the Lord will reweave that dream-tapestry on the loom within your heart.
Be Blessed and A Bountiful Blessing.
