EYES OF A CHILD

Lindsey- Through The Eyes of a Child

At eighteen months Lindsey sees what others miss. Her eyes are clear and bright. She looks at you with intent and at times it seems that she sees into your heart and your soul. It doesn’t matter that your old and wrinkled, your hair has thinned or misshapen. She doesn’t focus on your weight or even your clothes. She looks directly into your eyes and without saying a word she communicates that you matter. Does a child have or understand love? I don’t know, but if it doesn’t then it has something even better. Is she here for us to teach? Or perhaps, having recently come from God she brings a message that supper cedes the cares and doubts of this world, a message from her Father in Heaven. She brings a message of hope and of joy and of peace. She brings a message of purpose and a message of renewing. Like an opening flower at springtime, a glance from her eyes fills us with awe. Perhaps the time will be short and she will move into the world of man and leave the world of angels but for now there is an angel among us. In the future more angels will come and I hope to be able to see if but for a short time through the eyes of a child like Lindsey.
