I work with a woman who lives across the hall from her grandchildren. aside from the fact that the family drives her insane, she loves one of them. thats right, just one. there are two beautiful little girls that live across the hall; one gets love, blind acceptance, gifts, forgiveness – 100%. The other however, gets all the blame, yelled and fussed at, is given gifts begrudgingly and plays alone most of the time. One girl is rotten, the other isn’t. I’ll bet you can’t guess which one is which. The older girl, the one who plays alone is beautiful and polite and desires love and acceptance. The youngest, is a brat to say the least. Watching these girls get the attention from their grandmother makes me understand why God allows his children to be disciplined. I don’t want to be a spoiled brat, I don’t want to act like the youngest. I don’t want to live my entire life never learning to be dependant.
I want to take the girl away. I want to show her love and acceptance and raise her. I want to cherish younger children, who don’t have love at home. I don’t know if its something I want to do or will do in my life. but i know its a passion worth living for
