Sings Mr. Chipping in the movie Goodbye, Mr. Chips.
My littlest child asked me tonight what did Mr. Chips mean with that question? I had to explain first the meaning of the word 'childhood' and then also told her that some people didn't have memorable childhood. This made me think of my own...
I thank God for my childhood.
It wasn't perfect and I didn't get all I wanted but I know I had a happy one.
There was never a time when I felt "alone".
I know God was always there for me.
I know God was always there for me.
I didn't think of danger before.
Only later I realized how vulnerable I was, but He was there to protect me.

I praise God that I passed that stage, and that I can look back with a smile.

For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven."

it takes maturity to appreciate ones childhood.:p
i used to envy my friends who can go to the beach anytime, without adult supervision. now i understand that my mother was not mean at all when she didn't allow us to go to the beach on our own.:p
Such a lovely post, Ruth! If only every child could be kept healthy and happy...

Who says you can't do this? Being a child has nothing to do with it...I'd be right in there with the kids...I'm a 60+ year old kid!!!! Fun, fun photos.

I thought this post was a beautiful reflection of your childhood. I also enjoyed the pictures of the children having fun in the water.
Take care dear friend.
