6 Childlike Traits that You've Probably Lost (And How to Get Them Back)

By Brad Wilcox

I have spent much of my life working with children and those who teach and care for them. I have noticed children quite naturally possess attributes that we sometimes end up missing in our adult lives: an inner desire to do right, a sense of worth, the ability to be happy, a capacity to love, an innate sense of wisdom, and a deep and trusting faith. It is as if children are carrying full buckets of water, and then they stagger into their teenage years and the water starts sloshing out. Then they face the blows of adulthood, and even more water escapes. Soon people are standing around with empty buckets. This emptiness is not because the buckets were never full; the buckets become empty when people lose what they once had.

{Lifestyle} What Christmas and Easter Have in Common

By Ashley Jones

No, this isn’t a post about Christmas--if it were, I’d be four months late. Bear with me until I make my point. Every Christmas my mom pulls out her “Christmas books.” I’m not kidding, it’s usually at least one full bookshelf worth of books – picture books for the grandkids to read; Richard Paul Evan’s latest Christmas book (he has one at least every year, doesn’t he?), and books sharing ideas on how to remember Christ during Christmas. The majority of the books on the shelf however, are that last topic: idea books on how to celebrate and remember Christ, despite all the commercialism. Most Americans start celebrating Christmas the day after Thanksgiving; the decorations are usually up in the malls two weeks before that.
