The Realistic Mind of a Child

So... I was having a busy day filled with school, thinking about college and other daily obligations, when I decided to take a break in my day and eat lunch with my youngest brother, Iggy- whom is only seven. So we sat there eating our meal when he decides to have a conversation...

Iggy: Why don't you have a job anymore?
Me: Because my last job had me work long hours and didn't pay me good enough.
Iggy: Why don't you get a new job?
Me: Because at the current moment I don't need a job.
Iggy: Yes you do!
Me: *laughs* Why do I need a job?
Iggy: You need money to go to college.
Me: I thought you told me money is bad for you.
Iggy: Not if you're going to college.
Me: Well in that case, what job will I have then.

Iggy thought for a while then looked down at his food...

Iggy: I know! You can be a cook!
Me: A cook? Hmm... I don't mind doing that.
Iggy: You will be the best cook in the whole wide world!
Me: Oh really? Well where will I cook?
Iggy: At the Krusty Krab... just don't get greedy with money like Mr. Krabs.

I mean seriously? This kid knows what he's talking about! I know it may sound silly but how many times have we worried over things like trying to find a job, money, going to college, etc. ? In reality it's really simple. We often think it's so unrealistic, the mind of a child... but look closer and you'll find something deeper. Everything they do.... everything they say (well most things they say) we can learn from. Their simplicity is what makes them so happy, their trust in their parents, their enthusiasm to make their dreams come true... Sure I can't work at Krusty Krabs but that doesn't mean I can't be the best cook in the whole wide world- in the eyes of my little brother! My job is to make him happy and bring forth happiness to everyone around me - to whom ever God sends down my path- will I past them by or will I chose to make an impact in their life, with the little gifts that God has given me?

So I babysat some kids a few weeks ago and this is what I received in the mail...

Sure, they spelt my name wrong- but by golly are they the cutest little buttons ever!!! ~ Every charitable act you do, will be returned in the same beautiful way as it was given. Sometimes we don't know how much a smile could change someone's day... :)
