We can learn a lot from our children, especially about faith and using our imaginations. My mother always told me as a child, that if I can imagine it I can do it. The funny thing is, as a child I always imagined that I was a teacher. I used to line my dolls up in a row and play school for hours. I did become a teacher in the end. I believe that, it was my calling in life. I felt strong about teaching as a child that it manifested in my life as a grown up.

It is sad that we can not apply that child like imagination and belief as grown ups. We have a terrible drought at the moment. It is so bad that we currently have water restrictions. Little Matthew must have heard me when I told my friend that none of my lilies bloomed this year because of the drought. In his innocence he told me that I must not worry, he will ask God to”send some rain for the flowers. “Tomorrow God will water the plants mom.” He did he prayed for rain, nothing else just rain. According to the weather forecast today is suppose to be sunny and warm. It is cold and raining.

I wish that I could believe in God the way my child does. They believe unconditionally. I find it very unfortunate that as we grow up we start to loose our unconditional belief. Maybe this is why we find it so hard to manifest the life we so desire. We always want proof of everything, and we always and only believe things when we see it. Yet Christ told his disciples that we need the belief of children.

Maybe we must learn to believe like children unconditionally. There is enough proof in the world around us to show that there is a power higher at work here. We need to get in touch with our inner child and start believing again without any doubts. Maybe then we will manifest the lives we so desire.
