SO
THE BIG STUFF IS EASIER
TO HANDLE
So many times my
grandchildren teach me amazing lessons on how to live life. Their innocent approach to living enchants
me.………
One day after making a batch of brownies, I took the beaters
out of my Kitchen Aid mixer and was in the process of putting them in the sink
when my one and a half year old grandson, Caleb came bounding around the corner
of the refrigerator. He squealed with
delight and jumped up and down as he reached for the chocolate covered
beaters. His little face lit up with
pure joy as he licked them clean.
A year later when Caleb was two
years old he wanted to “help” me wash dishes. I took out the Dawn dish washing liquid, opened the cover and before I poured any liquid into the sink, I
squeezed the bottle and tiny bubbles appeared!
Caleb erupted with laughter and begged me to make the bubbles fly again
and again. I was fascinated with his complete and utter enjoyment over
such a small event. Since then, I often purposely
pause, squeeze the bottle of dish soap and watch the little bubbles float
away. All by myself I stand in my
kitchen and simply ENJOY. I know it
sounds a bit crazy (at least my kids think so) but try it sometime, its fun!
Today, if only for a moment, find something to
enjoy!
“This is the day that the
Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!”
Psalm
118:24
Have a good day! Love, Sue
