If it were possible that you might be granted the fulfillment of a single wish, what would you wish for? What gift or quality ranks high in bringing richness and joy to life?
A wise choice might be that spirit of wonder, of joy, of anticipation, of sheer exuberance that is characteristic of the small child. Is it any wonder that Jesus, when defining the Kingdom spirit, called a small child to him and said the child spirit is the key to entering that Kingdom?
Two small children were being put to bed by the father, who became somewhat exasperated when the children were giggling so much that getting them to say their prayers seemed impossible. He later reflected that just possibly the laughter of the children might have been more acceptable to the Almighty than his stern reprimands about the necessity of quieting down and saying their prayers!
