Children are eternal optimist. It doesn’t matter if you tell them that you know for sure that Santa is not real, they still believe it anyway. I have seen it happen time after time at the onset of puberty. They look around and see that the life they wanted to live is not the life that was handed to them. The surliness that sours the attitude becomes contagious and infectious and life takes on a different meaning. They dress in black, read sad poems and listen to sad songs trying to express the depression that sets after the bubble is broken. Jesus said that we have to remain little children. Why? Because he really can leap tall buildings in a single bound, he really is faster than a speeding bullet and he truly is stronger than a locomotive. He possesses super powers, he is unique and special. He can do the unusual and we should not forget it. Cynical adults may sit you down to tell you about the facts of life, but stop them with they begin to say what God can and cannot do. The “cannot “ part only refers to sinning and lying. Everything else is fair game.
