Go Out and Play

"It is the heart that is not yet sure of its God that is afraid to laugh in His presence." George MacDonald

Play! It is a must and really good for the soul. Many adults don't make time for play. They find it unnecessary and unproductive. However, God tells us to be like little children. Do you think He meant only with certain things? I know that children LOVE to play. That's what they live for. So what made us think we could get out of playing? If we are to really be like children, then I'm pretty sure that's an order to play!!!

Find some time to do something you love. Spend it without regret and don't worry about anything else!
