Something from My Mind - Kids

At church, there are lots of kids.
Kids are playful.
This morning before church school started I saw 3 kids bullying a kid.
Three against one.
They kept hitting him and running away.
The kid remained quite calm, but I can see he's aggravated too.
If I am not a good boy I would knock their heads together.
When church school started i can see that his arms are all red.
And there's this kid who can't stay still.
My mom have to always drag him around.
And there's another kid.
He's intelligent, and he's eager for attention.
Now he's graduated and he attends MYF.
He's somehow weird, opposite of me.
And his peers of the same age despise him.
They will jeer at him.
Bully him.
And during church school time they won't play with him.
At MYF he's very eager to show that he knows things. He wants attention.
Well, he's a nice kid. But he's kind of alone.
I'll move on to another kid.
A small kid this time.
A small kid who will just come to me and "play" with me whenever she sees me.
And I'm not a very "kid" person.
It's amazing how kids are innocent and they don't care who you are.
Now that I'm not a kid anymore, I sometimes missed my younger days.( not that I'm old, but I have my younger days )
Right now I can't relax in peace.
There are always unwanted things on my mind.
But if I ignore them something bad will happen.
Such as not studying etc etc.
As a kid I never cared about these things.
Last time I could read books as much as I wanted.
Now, if I were to read a long book, I might forget everything.
I might even lack sleep.
It's been a long time since I really read a book.
And there's the future to think about.
When I was a kid I seldom think about the future.
Or should I say never.
If it were to be put into an equation, where x = thoughts about the future, I would say x = o.1^infinity.
In case you don't know the value it's very small.
I think I deviated from half the topic.
So, back to topic, I think kids are nice, good, and whatever words in the dictionary which have similar meaning to good and nice.
So, be nice to kids, don't knock their heads together.

Matthew 18:3 And He said:"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
Kids are innocent, pure and simple minded. When they believe in something they believe will all their heart. But as we grow older, our minds develops and we think more. We will start to doubt God.
This is something somebody at sometime told me:
"Faith is believing without any doubts. We have faith in a chair. We have faith that the chair would support our weight when we sit on it. We don't think twice when sitting on a chair." ( I rephrased the sentence, I was quite a long time ago )
In my opinion, that's the kind of faith a child has. God wants us to have that kind of faith. Do we have faith like a kid? Do we believe in God like we have faith in a chair?
