I had the absolute joy of meeting my sister-in-law's 2 year old niece on the beach this weekend. My sister-in-law's family flew to Florida to visit and spend time on the World's Most Famous Beach-Daytona Beach.
This beautiful little girl ran up to me like I was her long lost friend, She wrapped her arms around my legs and screamed, "Hiya Cynnnnnnnnde." She grabbed my hand and quickly walked me to the rest of her family. Well, as quickly as she could. I was holding 2 beach bags, a chair and 5 tiny fingers. We picked a spot in the sand and opened my chair. As soon as I sat down, she immediately plopped right into my lap, took my hat off my head, put it on hers and once again said, "Hiya Cynnnnnnnnnnde."
Talk about a welcome.
Imagine what our world would be like if we were as accepting and loving of others as children. In the eyes of a child, the world and everyone in it is perfect.
For a child, Life's A Beach isn't a saying...it really is.
