During my Kindergarten class on Monday, two of my boys spent most of the class period with arms wrapped around one another’s backs, smiling as they were singing their ABC’s and dancing happily around the room.
They didn’t care that they were both boys.
They didn’t care that their skin was different colors.
They didn’t care that earlier in the day they had been arguing with one another.
All they cared about was having a friend beside them, connected to them, in that very moment.
How much better would this world be if we were like these two boys? Not caring about gender or race—not holding grudges—but just being in the moment with a friend?
God, help us to live with the simple, innocent, open eyes of children and to enjoy our lives and the people you’ve placed in them every moment of every day. Amen.
