As a child we think as a child, we play as child, we dream big, sore high, and imagine the impossible.
Children possess the ability to play hard, create, pretend, and discover all things new.
Memories were made….
built from love and the talents of our young minds which were pure at heart.
One of my many childhood passions was playing Chinese Checkers with my Granddaddy Sam. This was something we both loved to do. Hours would go by before we realized it. It was a pastime passion of fun, laughter and competition. This passion was among many which include my drawing set, my paints, playing in the dirt, and Barbie dolls.
Go back to the time when you were younger….a child….and recapture your passion.
What were you infatuated with as a child? Where did your passion lie? What do you remember that was "Oh so very precious" to you?
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child; I understood as a child,
I thought as a child…….." 1 Corinthians 13:11 KJV
It’s good to remember our passions…….Please share your childhood passion with us!
