Lessons From The Little Ones!


I am the Owner of this Wagon!I'm tired of waiting!OK I'll Stay and Play!I can't believe I Mowed the Whole Yard!No Fair! I'm Outta Here!I have the wagon!

It is mowing day at the Collins Home! I love to work out in the yard, mowing the grass and planting trees, shrubs and flowers. The only problem is that I don’t like to have to do it in a rush and since starting school several years ago, I always have to do it in a rush. That makes it a chore and not so much a joy.

However, today (Monday) is my day off and I cooked breakfast for Mike and his family and Mike is helping me to mow the yard. Actually Christopher and I are mowing the yard and Mike is working on the weedeater.

We were sitting around after breakfast and just watching the kids play and I had to laugh at the way things progressed. Samuel and Victoria were playing in the wagon and for no seemly reason Samuel would reach and pull Victoria’s hair. Then Christopher would come along and he wanted both of them ot of his wagon.  Jelousy is a mean thing. Now I don’t think at Samuel’s age he is jealous, he just likes to pull hair. But for Christopher I am sure he feels like he has been here much longer than the other two and he wants to be first. It is funny, when Alex is around Christopher, he doesn’t treat Alex that way and I am sure it is because he knows that Alex was here first.

It is cute when we see the children doing this and we just have to assure them that no one could ever take their place. Christopher is my first grandchild and nothing will ever change that. He is my pride and joy, and so are the rest of the little ones. I really can love them all.

The sad thing is when we see adults who act this way. We see it in family’s, business and sad to say even in churches. People feel like I was here first or someone is getting more attention than I am. We need to always be eager to share what we have with others, even our family and friends. Those who truly love us have a lot of love to share with others also.

I just thought you should know.

Kevin, Dustin, Michael, Alex, Christopher, Seth, Samuel, Victoria and the one born today that doesn’t have a name yet. I love you all will all of my heart and each one of you are my pride and joy. I wish I could spend every waking moment with my wife, kids, grandkids and parents. We will have Eternity some day.
