The Knowledge Of Children...

Read 1360 Times
Little Mathew aged six was playing in the lounge, his mother as usual was busy in the kitchen preparing the evening meal, when she suddenly thought her son was being unusually quiet. Wiping her hands, she popped her head round the lounge door and asked Mathew why he was so quiet and what he was up to. He replied, "I’m concentrating on drawing my picture of God." "But how can you do that?" said his mother, "No one knows what God looks like." Without looking up from his drawing the little lad replied, "They will in a minute, when I’ve finished."

Take time to play, it is the secret of eternal youth.
Take time to love and be loved, it is the grace of God.
Take time to make friends, they are the path to
happiness.
Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul.
Take time to give, life is far too short to be selfish.
"To rejoice in life, to find the world beautiful and a
delightful place to live in, was a mark of the Greek
spirit, which distinguished it from all that had gone
before."
