tonight driving home, my 2 year old son was upset because the sunshine went to sleep...
what does tomorrow mean to you?
as a drove i observed and listened to the dialog between chele and ryder... my observation... my two year old son waits in anticipation for the sun to rise for another day of exploration, play, life.
it forced me to wonder what i await for in tomorrow... my observation... appointments, meetings, email, the sun rising too early... i mean i anticipate the opportunities, the moments, the conversations, the time to create... but i have to make myself go there, to be aware of there.
he, ryder, wakes up there!
there is his life... its where he lives... its all he knows...
i hope he will stay there... in a world of opportunities, a world that invites us to see need, to get our hands dirty, to see beyond what is right in front of us, to be hyper aware of the world around us... i hope he stays in the world of innocence...
i hope he knows no better than NOT to dream... than NOT to serve... than NOT to be...
i hope he teaches me...

Beautiful...just beautiful.
I wrote a blog recently on forgiveness and how a 7 year old boy living in Uganda can forgive his entire village for rideculing and excluding him his whole life, but we can't forgive some of our best friends for the dumbest things.
Ryan commented saying that it really reminded him that only as a child may you enter the Kingdom.
I pray for a child-like innocence and a child-like love...
Good word, Freddy.
