Renew the spirit of Childhood in us...!!!!!



Went to church here at Milton Keynes.It was the first time after coming here.There were hardly 20 people for the evening prayer.But it was a beautiful experience. One in the group said a prayer followed by hymns and songs.One prayer that had be thinking for a long time was
" Renew the spirit of childhood in us "
This is what is actually required in our lives I feel..and we are actually growing down with years with regard to many things.
Growing down with regard to 'Trusting others..', 'Adjusting to situations', 'Seeing people without prejudices' ,'Sharing our things' and the list will go on...
How easily we made up after the little fights that we had whether it be with the friends next door or with friends at school.We forgot the fights without letting them leave the slightest mark of bitterness in our minds.It was not forgiving but forgetting...
I feel children experience the special grace of God to forget things and incidents of bitterness or may be they just don't feel the bitterness.
We never bothered to enquire about the caste, religion or nationality of the friends we made in childhood.Because we were unaware of the differences that man made in his world around.The knowledge we attain of the castes,communities and religion as we grow up in life later become the prejudices we use to judge the people we meet in our lives.These differences later grow to become the sources of unhappiness in our lives.

Is the education we gain, knowledge we attain and money we earn worthy of these instincts of innocence we have in us ...Is a definite NO from me..!!!
