First thing every morning before you arise say out loud, "I believe," three times.

Big Mud Puddles and Sunny
Yellow Dandelions
Author Unknown

When I look at a patch of dandelions, I

see a bunch of weeds that are going to

take over my yard.



My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing

white fluff you can wish on.


When I look at an old drunk and he smiles

at me, I see a smelly, dirty person who

probably wants money and I look away.



My kids see someone smiling at them and

they smile back.


When I hear music I love, I know I can't

carry a tune and don't have much rhythm

so I sit self-consciously and listen.



My kids feel the beat and move to it. They

sing out the words. If they don't know

them, they make up their own.


When I feel wind on my face, I brace

myself against it. I feel it messing up my

hair and pulling me back when I walk.



My kids close their eyes, spread their arms

and fly with it, until they fall to the ground laughing.


When I pray, I say thee and thou and

grant me this, give me that.



My kids say, 'Hi God! Thanks for my

toys and my friends. Please keep the bad

dreams away tonight. Sorry, I don't want

to go to Heaven yet. I would miss my

Mommy and Daddy.'


When I see a mud puddle I step around

it. I see muddy shoes and dirty carpets.

My kids sit in it. They see dams to build,

rivers to cross, and worms to play with.

Iwonder if we are given kids to teach or

to learn from? No wonder God loves the

little children!



Enjoy the little things in life, for one day

you may look back and realize they were

the big things.

I wish you Big Mud Puddles and

Sunny Yellow Dandelions!!!
and God Bless you all
