WHEN I LOOK AT A PATCH OF DANDELIONS, I SEE A BUNCH OF WEEDS THAT ARE GOING TO TAKE OVER MY YARD. MY LITTLE GRANDKIDS SEE FLOWERS FOR GRANNY AND BLOWING WHITE FLUFF THAT THEY CAN WISH ON.

KIDS AND DANDELIONS
WHEN I FEEL WIND ON MY FACE, I BRACE AGAINST IT. I FEEL IT MESSING UP MY HAIR AND HOLDING ME BACK AS I WALK. MY GRANDKIDS CLOSE THEIR EYES, SPREAD THEIR ARMS AND FLY WITH IT. THEY FALL TO THE GROUND LAUGHING!
WHEN I SEE A MUD PUDDLE, I STEP AROUND IT. I SEE MUDDY SHOES AND DIRTY CARPETS. MY GRANDKIDS SIT IN IT! THEY SEE DAMS TO BUILD, RIVERS TO CROSS AND WORMS TO PLAY WITH.
SOMETIMES, I WONDER IF WE ARE GIVEN KIDS TO TEACH;
OR TO LEARN FROM?!
NO WONDER JESUS LOVES
THE LITTLE CHILDREN.
WHEN I HEAR MUSIC I LOVE, I SIT AND LISTEN. MY LITTLE GRANDKIDS FEEL THE BEAT AND MOVE TO IT. THEY SING OUT THE WORDS, AND IF THEY DON'T KNOW THEM,
THEY MAKE UP THEIR OWN.
WHEN I PRAY, I SAY THEE AND THOU, AND GRANT ME THIS AND GIVE ME THAT. MY YOUNG GRANDKIDS SAY "HI GOD. THANKS FOR MY TOYS. SORRY, I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN YET. I WOULD MISS MY "MOM AND MY GRANNY."
IT TAKES ME HOURS TO MAKE UP MY MIND TO DO OR NOT TO DO SOMETHING. KIDS SIMPLY THINK THEY ARE A COWGIRL OR A COWBOY, THEN THEY ARE! THERE IS NOT ONE
