Ever think of kids as gurus? You know, Gurus are those who teach truths. Think about this. When was the last time yo really watched kids? Here are a few observations of truths we can learn from kids.
Total immersion. The are fully engaged in that which they are doing. No watching TV, working on a paper, talking to one another all at the same time. Watch their faces.
Total Concentration. That is all they are going to do. When they ask a question, they wait for answer. Of course if we don't answer, they will go on to something else, but while waiting, they are concentrating to hear your words.
New Perspective. They can come up with the darndest things. Often, they put together various things in ways we don't fathom. Take for instance prayer. They will pray for everything. My kids used to go on and on and on praying for this and that. Some of their prayers were mixtures of what they heard from us. Take for instance one example I read lately. "A little boy learned Jesus Loves Me while his father was away. Upon return, he prayed for breakfast "Jesus loves me this our toast'".
Ability to bounce back. 'Nuff said
Total Honesty and Expression.
Maybe you are like me. I multi-task to the extent I don't enjoy much and become more like a zombie. Think about it. (Kids observations based on the work of Tim Hansel) (Picture is of Eli Bullington, our recent great cousin).
