PHOTOGRAPHY AND ATTITUDE

Proverbs 22:15 (New Living Translation)

15 A youngster’s heart is filled with foolishness,
but physical discipline will drive it far away.

When our children were growing up I remember I did not have to train them to be disobedient.  Nor did we have to train them to be “bad”. It sort of came kind of natural to them. It fact, telling falsehoods, and using manipulation, we did not need to teach them either. Amazing how smart little children are.

“Granddaddy, I love you”, she said. “Can I have a cookie?” “I remember your mom and dad saying you were not to have sweets this week.” “Is that right, sugar pie”? “Oh granddad…..(her little brain thinking), I love you so much, hug me”, her soft voice babbles with kindness. “OK sweetheart, here is my hug”, I said.

“Granddaddy, I love you”, she said. “Can I have a cookie?”  “You are so sweet, ok just one”, my softened heart surrenders.

“Granddaddy, I love you”, she said. “Can I have another cookie?” “No sweetheart, did I not say one”? “Oh…..granddaddy, pleaseeeeeeeeee?” “No sweetheart” I said.

Her “sweet” head spins around, like in the movie the exorcist, “I WANT A COOKIE”, demanding and yelling at the top of her sweet lungs.

I am thinking, “Where is all this love spoken moments ago”?

That is it for today.
