My kids see someone smiling at them and &gt; &gt; they smile back. &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; When I hear music I love, I know I can&#039;t carry a tune &gt; &gt; and don&#039;t have much rhythm so I sit self consciously &gt; &gt; and listen. My kids feel the beat and move to it. They &gt; &gt; sing out the words. If they don&#039;t know them, they make &gt; &gt; up their own. &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against &gt; &gt; it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back &gt; &gt; when I walk. My kids close their eyes, spread their &gt; &gt; arms and fly with it, until they fall to the ground &gt; &gt; laughing. &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; When I pray, I say thee and thou and grant me this, &gt; &gt; give me that. My kids say, &quot;Hi God! Thanks for my toys &gt; &gt; and my friends. Please keep the bad dreams away &gt; &gt; tonight. Sorry, I don&#039;t want to go to Heaven yet. I &gt; &gt; would miss my Mommy and Daddy.&quot; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I see muddy &gt; &gt; shoes and dirty carpets. My kids sit in it. They see &gt; &gt; dams to build, rivers to cross and worms to play with. &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I wonder if we are given kids to teach or to learn &gt; &gt; from? No wonder God loves the little children!! &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &quot;Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may &gt; &gt; look back and realize they were the big things.&quot; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I wish you mud puddles and dandelions...</blockquote>
