Today, the whole of Primary went on an excursion. The children were all excited the day before. This would be the first time that they would all go on a trip together. We left school at 9 pm with the energy level soaring really high.
The kids were divided into 5 teams. At the start of the activity, the teams were required to do a cheerleading number. (One boy did a split. Amazing!) Then, there was an icebreaker activity where they were required to form a big circle and give their friends a massage. (Whoa, I would have really loved to have been part of the "massage" thing.)
The next part of the activity was a treasure hunt, followed by a "Squeezing" Relay. One person had to dip a sponge into the swimming pool and pass it to others in the line. Then, they have to squeeze the sponge by seating on it to fill a small bucket placed under their chairs. The relay was really fun. The kids all looked cute! They didn't care how they looked like as long as they win.
Sometimes I really wish that I was still a kid. No worries in life, no image to think about, no pressure, no stress. This is what life is all about. Living a simple life...But as we grow older, we "learn" to create imaginary problems, to push ourselves to the limits, and to stress our ourselves by worrying too much. These really complicates life. We start to "not" to enjoy life.
If only we could learn to be like a child again, and start to just enjoy everything that God sets before us. I know that I have to learn to trust GOD fully and just be secure in the thought that my future is in His hands. Only then, will I be able to enjoy life as the children do! Indeed, life is simple!
