As a child I could remember taking toy trucks and cars and playing for hours in the dirt. The roads and towns I would create would let my imagination run for hours and when it was time to go in, it would bring me out of the world I had created back to reality. As I remember, it was a time of being totally care free, and no worries.
Now that I am grown, without worries and cares, because I know the Truth about where to place them, I recall a lesson my oldest son had to learn. With the new age of electronics, imagining things was not as necessary. Life was a virtual reality. With his life cares on my shoulders, I could recall a time when I was young and care free and what I did that I enjoyed so.
I brought him out to the flower bed in front of the house and showed him how he could take his trucks, and cars, and build roads, and towns, and just enjoy what he created for hours, it was what I use to do. Now he was a tidy boy to say the least, everything needed to be just so and all his clothes would need to match, without a stain. As he got down in the dirt and started to play, his imagination took his thoughts of being just so away, and before he knew it, he was covered in dirt. He looked down at his hands and saw that they were covered with dirt and looked at me and said, “Look what you made me do!”
I smiled without saying, ‘I know.’
Now he is grown and the worries of this life, he knows the Truth about where to place them, and to think on the things he did as a child when someone elses life beomes his burden.
Thank you God in Jesus name, for allowing things in my life, that I can blame you for, until I learned the Truth why you allow them.
