Gifted Children…or is it Gifted World?

by Mum Dee on September 24, 2010

I love this little boy! It blows me away when I see someone so small that has such a gift. I wonder how it is for him? How does it feel to be able to make his violin sing in the way he imagines it in his head and his heart. He was only 2 when he declared that he was going to play violin like Andre Rieu. Now at 3 he has had some training and is so happily doing what he was born to do!

How is it that people can have such an innate ability! It is like they are born with the knowledge already implanted in their brains. Of course that is not quite how it works but it sure seems this way. Oh the beauty of the people all around us!

When I stop to look closely at the people in my life I can see the incredible beauty in each of them. For some the gifts show on the outside, so easy for everyone to see. In others they are more hidden. Their gift is perhaps in their ability to empathize with others or the way they can make others feel so loved. We all have something special to offer the world.

Unfortunately life sometimes chars people and it dulls their natural color so much that the gems inside of them get hidden from the the world and themselves as well. I wish I could go around and rub away all the tarnish from people’s hearts so that they could shine on the world in the way that God intended for them.

I love people! I find everybody to be so interesting. I love to watch people interact. I want to see everyone through God’s eyes. I want to see the beauty that is in them above everything else that shows on the outside. I want to be able to love them in the way that God loves them! That would be so amazing!!!!

So Busy These Days

by Mum Dee on July 31, 2010

Wow, I have been so busy this summer with my grandchildren, my nephew and my own kids to say nothing of the dogs, our chickens, gardening, acres of lawn maintenance and pet sitting that I have been neglecting my blog. Go figure! Oh well I guess there is only so much time in a day. Well things should start to settle back into a regular routine soon. I hope you are all having a fun summer too!

Long Distance Grandma Face-to-Face at Last!

by Mum Dee July 11, 2010

My daughter and grandchildren are coming to visit this week! I haven’t seen them in over a year. I am always nervous when I get to see my grandchildren because I feel as though I don’t really know them well enough and so am not sure how they will like what I have planned to [...]

Breast Milk Needed

by Mum Dee June 30, 2010

Breast feeding is certainly the way that nature intended for us to feed our babies. The medical literature is clear that there are many advantages to breastfeeding including a reduction in respiratory infections and ear infections. Of course the sheer joy of nursing your baby is beyond compare. I would love to have another baby [...]

What’s Real?

by Mum Dee June 26, 2010

The line between imagination and reality is quite blurry when children are young. Do they really know the difference? Kids will tell you a story of how something happened and it can be so far fetched but they seem to firmly believe that that was the way the event transpired. Even as adults we can [...]

Real Love!

by Mum Dee June 21, 2010

The video above is a commercial from Thailand. I am not really sure how the advertising part of it works but it is such a beautiful story told in only two minutes. Get ready with the tissues! What a great way to convey a message about breaking traditional responses that only cause harm to the [...]

I’m Sorry

by Mum Dee June 17, 2010

I remember coming home after a long and tiring day to find a disaster in my kitchen! There were dirty mixing bowls and utensils on every imaginable surface. A film of some unidentified white powder seemed to have turned everything into some muted shade of its original color. Shredded up newspaper had taken over the [...]

by Mum Dee June 13, 2010

I don’t know about you but I do not understand texting lingo. Oh okay, I get LOL and ROFL since these have been pointed out to me but what does JM2C mean? How about this one, LSHCCOMNAIWEDA: laughing so hard coke came out my nose and I wasn’t even drinking any. The list of abbreviations [...]

Tantrums Rule?

by Mum Dee June 5, 2010

My son -in-law sent me a news article that I found so shocking. xinhuanet.com It had never occured to me that something like this could happen. This is how the article began. “Taking a deep drag on his cigarette while resting on the steering wheel of his truck, he looks like a parody of a middle-aged lorry [...]
