Monday evening Lilah, our 6 year old grand-daughter had her first performance at the Sydney Opera House. She was one of two kindergarteners, or kindies as they are called here, at a musical extravaganza involving 24 area schools. Obviously she was the best! (At least according to this grandma.)
It was a wonderful night of music from a conbined choir of 600 students, several dance teams, a few instrumental groups and a few solos. There was one little Japanese violon player that you would absolutely not have believed! It was a great night for all.
I loved Lilah's comment after the concert when she said, "When we finished the last dance I couldn't take the smile off my face."
Pure joy in doing something she loves. At 2 years old we could tell her body was made to dance. If she hadn't danced during a day she would be upset at bedtime saying, "I didn't dance today!"
So I am wondering...what is it that gives you so much joy you can't take the smile off your face? What was it when you were a child? Is there anything you need to reclaim from your childhood that you have shelved because you didn't think you were good enough? Or did you let something go that there just wasn't time for, and now you want to re-explore it?
Unless you become like a little child you cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven. Matt 18:3
I hope today, or tomorrow, or soon you do something that gives you so much joy you can't take the smile off your face. To LIFE!
