whimsy

/ˈ(h)wimzē/
Noun
  1. Playfully quaint or fanciful behavior or humor.

This is where x marks the spot on our love lesson today.

We are learning to be better lovers...
And no doubt...
Lovers are whimsical.

Kids by nature are masters of whimsy.
And since the child in all of us learns best from illustrations...
We went where whimsical stories run wild.
A venue set apart for children to teach...
The fine art.
Though not my favorite destination spot...
The atmosphere propels the grown to a different state of mind...
A prison of play.
Most adults seem to fight whimsy.
It has become a dying art of sorts.


Pastor and I...
We're re-learning the game.
We ache to love better...
Our family...
Our church...
Our God...
Our friends...
Everybody really.

Understanding more and more...
That whimsy...
Is one of the magic tickets towards greater love.
And the good news is...
There is a spot reserved for each of us...
The more the merrier!
The Hopefuls...
They aren't just falling in love with love...
They are falling in love with whimsy.

What an amazing Papa we serve!
He not only shares the gift...
But invites us to be unusually playful...
In  regards to expressing it.

He wants us to be love drunk...
You know...
So in love...
That you will give ALL your treasures away...
Just to express your heart to another.
Praying for more love around here.
And an extra side of whimsy.

Thankful for the oddest teachers...
Characters designated to create space...
So learners have a safe place to practice whimsy...
Putting love lesson plans into practice.
