I love this story for a few reasons. Watch these videos...kids will enjoy them as well :)
I love that Nirvan saw this boy and took time to engage. He wasn't in a hurry, only caring about his own needs. So often it seems like everyone is rushed, and people are too self absorbed to notice others...very often kids. I know I let this happen at times.
I also like it when people are just doing what they love with humility and diligence, and get rewarded like this.
Check out Part 2...
Another reason I love this story, is that it shows how awesome kids are. The have amazing imaginations. They just need the time and supplies. When kids are rushed around too much, and overly entertained, they don't have the time and energy to create. We need to give them time and space...and let our houses get messy if need be. I like this quote from Albert Einstein. "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

I don't want to live life in a hurry.
I want to engage with the people
around me, and encourage my kids as they use their imaginations!

My Sweet Baby Boy
On December 11th my baby will be 11 weeks old!
I've been blessed with the face of another amazing little boy.
No matter how many babies I have, it never gets old.
I'm captivated every time by the beauty and miracle of these tiny little fingers and toes.
Nurturing children is certainly not easy. In fact God has used motherhood to grow and stretch me in more ways than I can count. It challenges me on every level-physically, mentally, and spiritually. Because of that, I have learned to cling all the more to the Lord. I recognize that if I want to raise these children well, for His glory, with real love, I must depend on Him for everything! "And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."~Philippians 4:19 ESV
I am truly thankful for each child He has given me. I am so grateful for
His love for me and my family. I am not a perfect mother, but He is a
perfect Father. My hope is in Him!
Love this smiley guy!!!
