faith like a child

Dear Reader,
 often times you here as a an adult have  child  like faith!!  what  does that  even  mean?  act like a child? does that require having fun?? 
  I mean  the  older that  we  get  the  more  stress  we deal with. we  face  real life  issues and  struggles.....
  to  have  childlike faith is  to  have  freedom. if you  think about  it.  as a  child  we  trust.  sure  we are going to ask questions  cause  we want to learn  new  things.  the  cool part about being  kids  is they  see adventure from a whole  new  perspective. i have to admit  and i am so guilty sometimes  with kids i pretend to enjoy there enthusiasm for life. they  have so much  fun outside  making up  random  games but to them it is the most fun in the  world.
  for  example  growing up when we lived in a little  trailer i must of been maybe 7 or  8 it was  winter  time and  my  dad had  just  finished doing g chores.  now in my opinion my dad  was the  ultimate  snow  fort builder.  we  built an igloo over top of the sandbox. how cool is that to a  little  kid.  as you  can imagine  the fun we had. 
now i am 25 yikes  right!!!   i find it's  hard at times to keep that same enthusiasm  for life. how  many of us  have at times lost  or  misplaced or  sense  for  adventure. our  childlike faith. our imagination.  i love  listening to  kid  stories.  like the  adventures of  Odyssey. there is  such  great stories and great  adventures.you know it's OK to live right? it's OK to have  fun family time. you  don't  have to  spend  big bucks to  have fun.  
  so  here's  my challenge to you all of my readers!!  think of  something you  used to  do as a child. and go  have fun!!!!enjoy the  simple  factors of life don't  get  stressed out  thinking bout fun ha ha.. 
   A couple years ago my friend and i started  this place called THE  KINGDOM  now this place you are going to have to use your imagination  if you dare!!  in order  to  get to this place you  need to  go by boat  once you cross over to this place  the  waters  are still there is a castle and  gorgeous  lush scenery.   the king  and queen are most loved and there is peace through out all the land.  my most favorite spot is   at  night time  i will walk through the flower  garden to the waterfall as i walk behind the waterfall there is a few  caves.  there is a  cave that leads through the mountain  to the village. in the day time  i will often  go  and  reach out to the town orphanage. all the  children's  faces  light up with  pure  joy  for someone  wants to be there  and spend time with them. as i  sit  down  to listen to all the stories of the day  with laughter and joy to be shared all around. even  when i leave my  heart stays. for  there is  just a  deep  love and compassion for the  children.  day after  day each child has a  new  story of the day.  there is so much  love  and joy.   then i return  to the castle for an evening stroll  as i sit  by the  water  the  quiet  still  whispers of the night sky and the water  swooshing against the rocks. there is  nothing more peaceful than that.  you  can use the  same guide line and  think of  something that makes you  feel peaceful  makes you  laugh again and  enjoy life.
