Life would be pretty boring without imagination. Everything would be literal. We would have no figurative language, no sarcasm, no creativity. After all, you have to imagine to create. I guess if God hadn't given us imaginations, we'd have a hard time believing in Him.
Today I was able to take some kids on an imaginary journey. Kindergarten and first graders have the best imaginations. Watching them "come along" with me as I described the desert and our imaginary ride into the city on a bumpy road (all of us bouncing up and down the whole time) while being crammed into a small van with no air conditioning was truly joyful. My only regret is that I didn't have enough eyes to watch each one of their reactions individually. Those are images I would love to have stamped into my brain. Yes, it is a joy to have an imagination.
