lessons learned
from the kids
“Oftentimes we are so busy looking down and running here and there we forget to look up and remember what God has created and all the beauty there really is in this world, even when it doesn’t feel like it.”
P
arents are always teaching and guiding children through their lives. We can easily fall into the rut of simply seeing the adult as teacher and the child as learner. But what if we were to flip that? What if we adults pause for a moment and realize
children actually have quite a lot to teach us too? International best-selling author Bryant McGill says, “Our children can be our greatest teachers if we are humble enough to receive their lessons.” Whether we are 5 or 95, we are never too young to learn ... and learning from children can be healthy for us “old” folks!
