mischievous lives…

recently, a friend gave me some good advice. he said, “enjoy (your kids) while they are young.” he was implying that as they get older they grow more mischievous.
i was thinking about that yesterday afternoon while we were outside. 
our daughter looked up @ the sky and said, “ooooh look God painted that. He sure is a good painter.” she was right. God had given us a beautiful sunset filled with pinks, purples and oranges which she promptly pointed out. although the sunset was beautiful, hearing her acknowledgement of God’s work around her seemed to make the sunset pale in comparison. at least to me.
don’t get me wrong, we have no illusions that she is perfect. she’s constantly proving that she is part of the fallen race of man. it’s just that the innocence is so overwhelming.
often i think of my own walk in a similar way. when i’m close to Christ, my faith is more childlike. somehow more innocent. then during those times when i’m further away, i become more mischievous i guess kind of like those kids down the street…
