Boy, You Make Me Smile
I was in the Starting Point (4-5 year olds) classroom on Sunday morning at my church. As I was sitting in the playroom with all the kids at the beginning of class, it was so hard to just sit there and watch the boys run around and play fight. I wanted to tell them that they needed to be careful, calm down, stop running, and play nicely. That’s all fine and good, and if they’d been doing anything that was going to cause harm I would have, but they were just being boys.
I sat there and thought about Wild at Heart and how it talks about the fact that boys have that desire to be wild and fight for what they want/believe. I had to stop myself and let them be boys, watching to make sure they were safe, but smile all the while as they were working on becoming the men they were meant to be.
