Children are not a distraction from more important work, they are the most important work.
John Trainer MD

Today is children's day and I am most grateful for all the children in the world.

Here is a picture of my nephew. He is one of the joys of my heart. His name is Gift and he is indeed a gift. He is carefree, and joyful. Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to be a child. To have no cares or worries in the world and just be free. The only time that Gift is sad is when he cannot get his demands and even then, he has his ways of getting the things that he wants.

Today as we celebrate children all over the world, I have outlined some attributes of children that we all should posses.

• Children are pure. unspoiled by the cares and worries of this life.

• Children possess transparency of character. They say that only children and fools always tell the truth. Most of us learned how to tell lies from our environments. One attribute of children that we should have is the ability to say the truth freely without modification from our higher centers.

• Little children are humble, they are affectionate, and they trust with all their hearts.

Today I went to church and I was so pleased to see all the little children come forward with their presentations. The kids took charge of most part of the service. It was refreshing.

Today I'm grateful for all the lovely children in my life and for all the little ones in steemit too, the @little-peppers, @lil-lovejunkie, and all the wonderful children in the world.
