Children Breaking Barriers
I sat in a restaurant recently and watched two children
Who had never met before that day
They acted as if they had known each other forever
Neither of them asked what their social status was
They didn't care about their age or color of skin difference
They were too busy having fun
They smiled at each other
They ran off together to play
The parents exchanged a few brief words
Why is it that adults don't readily make friends?
These parents sized each other up with one glance
The children played together as if they were long lost cousins
Children are honest and open
They love to laugh and play
Jesus said suffer the little children to come unto him and forbid them not
He was saying in the simplest terms
Adults should pay attention to a child's play
Learn from them and break down barriers of mistrust
Learn to take the time to meet someone new every day
Seek potential and opportunity on every face
Be Christ and Child like and make this world a better place
