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 hear music I love, I know I can't carry a tune and don't have much rhythm so I sit self-consciously and listen.~ ~ ~
MY KIDS FEEL THE BEAT AND MOVE TO IT. THEY SING OUT THE WORDS. IF THEY DON'T KNOW THEM, THEY MAKE UP THEIR OWN.
When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it. I feel it messing up my hair and pushing 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 clothes, 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!!
