Simplicity

It is true, having a toddler can complicate things.
This week, in fact, has felt very complicated.

Thanks be to God, today I was reminded of the simplicity only a child can bring.
How quickly a pain disappears by simply giving it a kiss.
How soothing and fun a simple game of catch can be.
How simply moving lunch from inside to outside made an adventure (and a beautiful memory).
How a simple blanket (Nenni) can mean the difference between life and death (not literally).
How quickly I am grounded by a simple prayer.

And how a simple little flower that he picked can brighten an entire kitchen, even when placed on an old dirty windowsill.

Here's to our simple day.

May yours be as equally simple.
