Innocence

If there's anything that my working for 13 hours yesterday taught me, it's that innocence is absolutely epitomized in children. Working at Disney, I now understand why Jesus treasured children so much.

There's this one position, called bridge position, that allows me to see this fact firsthand. Being at bridge requires very little work. All that is done is mere observation. At the maximum, the most you end up doing is counting however many cars are on the track. Every now and then you may have to run and help start a car that has stopped, but otherwise the position requires one to simply watch other people. It is at this time that I find it easiest to see every child's innocence.

Coming around one of the corners on our track, you get to see first hand how much/little fun each guest is having. When you see the kids, who are experiencing the thrill of "driving" for the first time, it does something deep inside. Their serene eyes piercing through all barriers constructed in your heart...their bright smiles disarming all bitterness that you may have been unconsciously harboring. One look and it becomes quite apparent why we must enter the kingdom of heaven as if we're children.
