Inspired

Today I was reminded by special little boy, that life is far too short to be wallowing in the pool of bitterness, anger, jealousy, doubt  *insert your word of choice here*...

Roo doesn't filter things the same way everyone else does.  Does he get angry? Is the incredible Hulk green??? Of course he does.  Does he sometimes let stuff just fly out of his mouth? yup- sure does.  But guess what else he does? Immediately after he feels like he's hurt someone, he runs up to them, most times sobbing, and throws his arms around that person and begs for forgiveness, all the while telling them how very sorry he is for hurting them.  WOW.  And then, he just moves on.  He doesn't really carry grudges, or throw junk back in your face after its over with, he just goes on and keeps on living.

I want to be like Roo.  He's just a child, but because God's gifted him with these supernatural beautiful qualities, It is I, his mother, who is constantly learning from him.


Are you hung up on self pity, or doubt, or anger or bitterness, or even unforgiveness?  Let it go- letting it go takes away its power and eases your burden... soothe your soul- come on get happy...

I am truly inspired! If we can all just be like this little innocent child ... not a care in the world. Easy to forgive... what a better place and a world for all of us to live in.
