So true. A child doesn't try to figure everything out, he/she just trusts. I think that is the hardest part for me, trying to figure out everything..... the hows and whys. I have seen my Father do miracles, and yet, I still do it. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
