I love watching the Food Network show, "Kids Baking Championship."
I've already watched 8 seasons of hilariously adorable preteens bake better than most folks, especially me. Besides the usual cakes, cookies, and pies; these master bakers of short stature can make macrons, pate-de-chou, brownies, blondies, & multiple versions of buttercream frosting... all from memory, no written recipe.
I laugh at myself wondering why I enjoy watching this show. Obviously it's not about what I can learn from their baking techniques, because I don't bake. So what is it then?
The kids.
They're so full of life, ingenuity, & creativity; as well as, just being their authentic self. Full of everything hopeful and miraculous without adult cynic interfering. They're just so REAL, in a fresh way. They want to be the winner, but they're helpful to their other teammates. There's a kindness I've not seen in other reality shows.
Even Jesus said that if we humble ourselves like a child, it would be like being the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. [see Matthew 18:2-5]
So I guess I'll have to put some "ingredients" together like a cup of Kindness... a tablespoon of Generosity... and mix it with a heaping handful of Good ole Patience, to Bake My Day!
