Being Childlike

"I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned, you have revealed them to the childlike." (Mt 11: 25).  Do we merit being childlike, or is it something we receive as a gift? We marvel at the sincerity and simplicity of the 4 year old who tells you everything that comes to his or her mind, and always with a big smile as if it were indeed, some divine revelation. Can we retain that simple approach to the day despite the headlines, our worries and concerns? We might try sitting quietly with Jesus and laying those concerns before him, asking him to replace them with his peace.  Then we might be able to smile and find joy in our summer flowers or the words of wisdom from a 4 year old.
