Children intuitively know that this world is amazing and amazing things happen in it all the time. Even kids in tough circumstances, any of you who’s ever been around a kid going through a really, really hard time, they still know, and they will instinctively default to celebrating the goodness of this world. They feel called to it. It’s like an obligation. They see this celebration as the work to which they have been called.  

Just a little side note on the on the child in my house that decided to dig the holes in the middle of the grass. Before the whole digging hole event thing, my wife had actually come to this child and asked this child, “Would you like to go to Chick-fil-A and celebrate the grand reopening of Chick-fil-A?” To which the child responded, “No.” And I quote, “Because he had a lot of work to do.” Referring of course to this project of digging holes just for the sheer joy of digging holes.
