~ Every child loves to receive a gift ~

As Adults we forget to take time to enjoy the small blessings of life. To honor the inner child in us that craves to play and be adventurous.

Recently I was gifted three gifts and I keep each gift on my desk. Each gift means something special to me, but together it’s meaning is precious.

The first gift was an Etch-A-Sketch. My inner child was full of joy when I opened my eyes and saw what I thought would be a birthday present months from now.

The second gift was a unique light bulb plant holder. My growing soul smiled as my friend opened it to put the light bulb in place.

The third gift, beautiful stones with encouraging words etched in them. My servant’s heart full of encouragement.

Each gift alone is special, however when together it’s priceless. When I glance at them, I smile and remember to let my inner child play, to grow daily, and be an encouragement to others. To honor my inner child in the process, to be my authentic self, to give myself grace, to be unapologetically ME.

Always remember to honor your inner child. Next time you receive a gift, open it as if you were a child, smile and laugh, enjoying the moment.

When you give a gift, give with an open heart and love. Sow into others your gifts that God has given you. We all have talents and passions, we grow from learning from each other. From embracing our uniqueness to showing our inner child. Those who love and support you will always give space for you to be yourself.

Life is a journey to be experienced with those special souls who bring out the child in us.
