Keeping your inner child alive

[ArtsieSteph]

I am 24 now, but I by no means act like a grown up all the time. (Or most of the time for that matter, but I digress XD) There are little things I have enjoyed doing since I was a kid that I still do, like playing in the bubbles when I wash dishes, popping bubble wrap, or playing "lightsaber" with that giant cardboard roll after the wrapping paper is used up.

What about you guys?

After I give my inner child a thorough beating, I'll take him out for ice cream or play an old video game.

Squeeze a ball. Seriously. To stimulate your logical "left brain", squeeze a rubber ball in your right hand. Do the opposite to fire up the creative right side of the brain, and squeeze the rubber ball in your left hand.

Go ahead, look it up.

There's a HUGE difference between being 'childish' and being 'childlike'.

My inner child likes to roughhouse.

I have the mind of a child whether that is from my brain damage or that is just who I am, I also have the heart of one and I have to mature and grow up and I am working on that however I always want to be a child with God. When I get to heaven I hope I am a four year old in heart and nature maybe even body with him, I have longed to cuddle in his arms

The awesome thing is I've daydreamed about the same thing. Being able to run into Jesus arms and cry for joy. Or jumping onto the Father's lap and saying "Hi Papa!"

I don't think this wholly applies to steph is asking. I also think that verse points to not being naive.

Hahah yeah I guess I meant more simple pleasures that we enjoyed as children, ones that we still enjoy. For me it's like blowing bubbles, stepping in puddles, swaying my feet back and forth when I'm sitting on a chair that's tall. That sort of thing.
