*I have spent ALOT of time taking care of children! I have been a nanny, a first grade teacher, and a preschool teacher. Throughout my experience I have been delighted to hear many hilarious quotes from children as they try to understand the world around them. Many times I have been able to take a little life lesson away for myself from their observations. Today's quote was from a sweet little boy during free play. He was pretty shy, so I didn't get to get in on his observations very often. This, however, is PRECIOUS!
S: "Ms. Michelle! Did you know that I can turn off the lights USING ONLY MY EYES!?!?"ME: "No, can I you show me!?!"S: -closes his eyes for a moment, and then opens them-"DID YOU SEE IT!?! Sometimes I can turn them off and on REALLY FAST!!! I just have to blink my eyes, quick!"How sweet is that!?! The lesson I came away with from this child's observation is this: sometimes I feel like I am stumbling around with out direction and in total darkness. Not always a deep, dark thing-sometimes just confusion as to what is going on in my life and the life of others. Then one day something happens and it's like "BOOM" it all makes sense! Often in these times my eyes have been closed to what God is doing, and when I open them-I find that the lights have been on the whole time!
