In today’s bustling world has play got a “raison d’être “ ? There is so much trouble, problem in the world why should we play ? I presume that two thousand years ago as well there was a lot of worry, famine , war , and yet our Redeemer still spent many years as a child in this world . I like to imagine as the Christ child stands in front of His mother and asks : “Mother can I go out to play with the other children ? “ Unfortunately we have a tendency to forget that Christ not only gave us an example to become a playful child but even gave this as a commandment for all of us : “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children,you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.!” (Matthew 18, 3)
