CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Psalm 71:23,
“My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you have delivered.”

Habakkuk 3:17-19,
“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.”

True joy is free from all but one circumstance, God’s saving grace. Play happens when joy bubbles over into action. Thus playfulness has less to do with what you are doing and everything to do with the spirit in which you do it. It can be hard to keep outside forces from pushing in and stifling joy, especially some days. But if we can see beyond the moment, focus on the wider view, then we can gain an unconquerable spirit. We could all stand to play a bit more.

MOLESKIN:
“Critics who treat ‘adult’ as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
