Good Morning Everyone, First posts from my favorite people, A lot of talk about this won't happen, that won't fly, I'm tired of waiting for things. Money, Money, Money, Things, Things, Things, without them we do not have as much fun, but sometimes they blind us to other more important things that give you the warm fuzzies that last forever!!!! Todays story: Remember, We're Raising Children, Not Flowers! David, my next-door neighbor, has two young kids ages five and seven. One day he was teaching his seven-year-old son Kelly how to push the gas-powered lawn mower around the yard. As he was teaching him how to turn the mower around at the end of the lawn, his wife, Jan, called to him to ask a question. As David turned to answer the question, Kelly pushed the lawn mower right through the flower bed at the edge of the lawn - leaving a two-foot wide path leveled to the ground! When David turned back around and saw what had happened, he began to lose control. David had put a lot of time and effort into making those flower beds the envy of the neighborhood. As he began to raise his voice to his son, Jan walked quickly over to him, put her hand on his shoulder and said, "David, please remember...we're raising children, not flowers!" Jan reminded me how important it is as a parent to remember our priorities. Kids are more important than any physical object they might break or destroy. The window pane shattered by a baseball, a lamp knocked over by a careless child, or a plate dropped in the kitchen are already broken. The flowers are already dead. I must remember not to add to the destruction by breaking a child's spirit and deadening his sense of liveliness.
