My 5-year-old son has started to tell me, "God's earth is like a toy". He then thinks of a million things he can "play" in nature. It is beautiful. I love the things that my children think and say. They amaze me every day.
In his words, here are some of the reasons "God's earth is like a toy":
there are fresh berries we can pick and eat
we can use rocks like chalk
there are trees and bushes to climb
mud is like glue
there are sidewalks to draw on like my easel
we can find pictures in the clouds
mud is a home for animals in the ground for us to find
we can swim in the water
we can climb the rocks and jump off
we can make castles in the sand
there are flowers to pick
there are plants and trees to get the bugs from (lately, cicada skins)
My 2-year-old always reminds us, "We forgot to pray!" So, "Dear God, for all these things, we are grateful. We love you. Amen."
