Let’s Go Fly A Kite:
At what point do we stop running?
At what point do we stop hopping, skipping or jumping?
These are the kind of questions which were raised by a precious friend in our home-group this week.
And one may query such a question.
But wait!
Our friend observed a young girl running around – outside the premises of a well known super-market.
The young child didn’t have a care in the world.
She didn’t seem to have any particular course, either.
As part of her play, she ran here and there, to and fro, innocently, devoting full strength.
Her activity appeared fun – there didn’t seem any other purpose.
She had no inhibitions.
She lacked conscious awareness of opinion.
And apart from the watchful eye of her mother, who was there to prevent her from running into the traffic, she seemed to have no boundaries.
She was free of trouble and worry.
So, dear friends, at what point in the growth and development of our lives do we decide to stop running in such a manner?
Well, It seems to me, that somehow, with the set expectations and priorities in life, suddenly we have to adopt a more grown-up persona.
Still, for most of us, if not all of us, there is that child trying to burst out.
How awkward it becomes when we have to hide behind that facade that we present to the world!!
Oh my!
Hey!
Let me put it this way:
I’m reminded of the Mary Poppins film where George Banks becomes fully aware that his family is more important than his job.
Oh yes!
Remember?
He repairs his son’s kite and takes his family on a kite-flying outing.
Perhaps this is our challenge for today:
Come-on!
With that child-like manner, let’s begin to freely run!
Step away from the crowd.
See life anew.
Learn to play again.
Go fly a kite!
Soar to new heights.
And experience some serious fun!
In Papa’s love.
Say yes to freedom!
