Here’s a lesson we can all learn from a child’s point of view. Recently, we were helping for a weekend with a couple of our grandkids. Our grandson, Emerson, 5, had a pretty great thought.
Here goes the exchange with his dad:
Em: Holding one up, Em asks, “Dad, can I have a Fruit Roll-up?”
Son Nick: “How about we wait until after lunch, Em, ok?”
Em: Takes the Fruit Roll-up back to the pantry, comes back a couple minutes later with the Fruit Roll-up unwrapped and unfurled. Holding it up so Dad can see the whole thing, he says “Look, Dad, see? There’s all kinds of goodness in there!“
I almost snorted my coffee out my nose. Can’t argue with that, now can you? 🙂 Apparently, all you have to do is look for the goodness in things and everything suddenly becomes clear and obvious.
Grandkids are great. Make it a great day!
Gather and hold on to your moments of Grace.
