Yes, I know what you’re thinking … “A Blonde?” Doesn’t Heather have dark hair? Did she dye it? Is she now a blonde?
Nope, she’s not. And yes, I had an awesome date with a blonde last night. We went for dinner and hung out together. She picked the restaurant — The Lone Star — and I let her order first. As we waited for our food to arrive, we munched on the chips and salsa, and she told me all about her day, her dreams, and the boy who clearly has a crush on her.
After supper we went for a
little drive and stopped at a store.
It was a wonderful night. I think I need to date her more often.
There is something very wonderful about our kids (at least my kids). As I’ve mentioned here already, my oldest daughter, Brittany, is heading to Costa Rica for a year. I am still processing that.
Christina is staying put. At 10 years old, she’s not ready to go anywhere, except maybe a few more dates with her dad.
Have you ever tried to see the world through the eyes of a ten year old? Trust me, it is a much different world than the one you and I see. Their world is so less complicated, so full of wonder, and overwhelming with possibilities. It’s an abundant, full-of-life type of world.
Perhaps that’s exactly why Jesus said that our faith needs to be like that of a child. So that the world we experience may be just a little closer to the one they live in.
