She

Today I went to the beach with my Kiddos. There was a good amount of people, all enjoying the last summer days on Michigan.

I was shy, even being Brazilian, with a non Brazilian body, hating myself for wearing a modest piece of swimsuit. 

But I wasn't there because of me, for sure. I was there because of them, my preciousness. They was so happy to jump inside of the cold Michigan river that made me fell happy and fell free as much as they were feeling. 

They covered my feet with sand and we laughed so hard. Oh the Endorphins after classes, and economic depression moments in life.

But one moment captured my attention. My 3yo daughter looking at the sky and smiling. Made me wonder what she was thinking. Does she was playing with the bird? Does the bird said something to her, so she smiled? She was smiling so beautifully that I wonder if she was seeing God. And if she was?

After this glimpse, I asked her what she was smiling, and she pointed her chubby fingers to the sky showing my the bird. Simple like that. She was smiling to this moment of her life.

How many times do we smile to something that make us happy?

Actually I'm doing right now just remembering her doing it.

Jesus told us to be like a child, with pure heart and mind.

Am I being like a child today?
