Maturity

At Church on Sunday one of the speakers mentioned that his father became more like a child as he got older and neared death. As I pondered that, I thought about my own efforts to become like a child, and I mused that we spend our childhood trying to become an adult and our adulthood trying to become a child. Or, put another way, immaturity is the process of becoming an adult; maturity is the process of becoming like a child.
