It was one of my Kindergarten children's birthday on Wednesday, and as a request since it was his birthday, he asked if I could bring my violin and play for him. I gladly said yes, so today, I brought it in since it's Friday and I could get away with being a bit more laid back.
So I sat down and played my violin, and some girls dressed up in princess dresses, and others, in grown up dresses that were donated, and they danced about my room. They stretched out their hands to the air, and with out embarrassment and with such grace, held themselves like they actually believed they were royalty. They believed they were beautiful, and they fully were engrossed in this moment as they giggled and delighted in the fact they knew they were such an exquisite site.
The rest of my day was actually really hard and I am fighting some annoying headaches at the moment, but in this moment, in this space of time, I could have cried. In one instance, I was so overcome with joy at the site and what I was sharing with these children. At the same time, I asked myself, where did we go wrong? Why do we lose the ability to see ourselves as to what we really are? Children teach me every day. They remind me who we are in Christ.
