\"Jake

Jake and his cousin Abby<\/p><\/div>\n

“Jake’s here, Jake’s here!”\u00a0 “Mommy Abby’s here, there she is mommy, there she is!!”\u00a0 Running like they just found a hidden treasure the two little cousins only 4 years old grab each other’s hands and run out to the swing set to play together.\u00a0 Smiles, laughter, giggling, running, swinging, chasing and playing that’s just what they do to together every time, those cute little cousins.<\/p>\n

Jake was born 6 months before Abby in a different state.\u00a0 Abby moved to Jake’s hometown when she was 2 years old.\u00a0 Before that time she would see Jake every month or so.\u00a0 When they were old enough to actually start playing together it was like best friends in the making, they just clicked.\u00a0 No one bosses the other one around, they just play and love each other.\u00a0 It is so sweet, innocent, fun and good.\u00a0 They don’t fight or get mad at each other.\u00a0 They don’t judge each other or talk bad about each other.\u00a0 They hold hands, say nice things and play.<\/p>\n

How much nicer would the world be if we could all get along like the little cousins.\u00a0 If when we saw each other all we wanted to do was grab each other by the hand, hug, say hello and just play together.\u00a0 No judgements, no resentment, no hard feelings, no fights, no arguments, just pure wholesome goodness.\u00a0 What would our world look like if we could all just care for one another like Jake and Abby do, with no pretense, no Mal intent, no motivation to get something.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0If we just accepted each other for exactly who we are right now.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 If we shared all our toys with each other.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0If we played nicely together.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If we hugged more.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0If we just said what we feel that is good.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

How kind, sincere, loving and precious would our world be if we all just loved each other<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0like the little cousins do.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today, think about the people you will see in your day and try to look at them like Abby looks at Jake.\u00a0 Try to think of them as a playmate that doesn’t want to hurt you but just wants to love you.\u00a0 Change your prespective for a day and see if it will change your day.\u00a0 Maybe you will make a friend today that you never knew you could make.\u00a0 Let the little cousins set the example and just try to get excited, be kind, share your toys, and play nicely together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Isn’t that really what God wants from each of us, to just play nicely together by loving selflessly and fully?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
