MUD PIES AND DANDELIONS
When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are going to take over my yard. My kids see flowers for mom and blowing white fluff you can wish on.
When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I see a smelly, dirty person who probably wants money and I look away. My kids see someone smiling at them and they smile back.
When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back when I walk. My kids close their eyes, spread their arms and fly with it, until they fall to the ground laughing.
When I pray, I say thee and thou and grant me this, give me that. My kids say , " Hi God ! Thanks for my toys and my friends. Please keep the bad dreams away tonight, Sorry, I don't want to go to Heaven yet. I would miss my mommy and daddy".
When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I see muddy shoes and dirty carpets. My kids sit in it. They see dams to build, rivers to cross and worms to play with.
I wonder if we are given kids to teach or to learn from .
No wonder God loves the little children !!
"Enjoy and little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things........"
I WISH YOU MUD PUDDLES AND DANDELIONS !!!
