Instant Friends

Original post: Children, March 28, 2021. Edited.

I watched two young children play next to me as we waited for our flight to Florida. When these two little girls met for the first time, within 30 seconds they became best friends. It was obvious they came from very different backgrounds and heritage. Their skin was not the same but they didn’t care. These girls knew nothing of race or of color. They had no understanding of prejudice or of injustice. They were pure, loving, and gentle with one another. They were equal. And they were beautiful.

Their giggles and playfulness brought smiles to everyone around them at the loading gate, and tears to my eyes. They were genuine and innocent. They were eager to share their toys and to love on each other. We have a lot to learn from three year olds. ♥️
