A friend and I were standing in line at the grocery store the other day,and I was telling her how lazy my children were.I had come in from work that morning,and like most times,my house was wrecked.
"I believe children nowadays are just out for what they can get.I b end over backwards for them,and they can't even help keep our house cle an.It wouldn't bother me so,but it's the woman who looks bad if the ho use is a mess."
"Do you know how blessed you are?" A woman behind us asked." I woul d love to go home and find my house a mess.I wouldn't mind my carpet be ing ruined or the dishes left everywhere.I wouldn't mind the dirty clot hes being piled high or the many socks to match.I wouldn't even mind an yone talking about my dirty home.Matter of fact,I would love it.I wou ld dearly love to kick my way through the house just to get to my kids a nd be able to hug them,kiss them and tell them how much I love them.Yo u see,my two children were killed in an auto accident and now it's just my husband and me.My house stays clean,my clothes stay put up,the dis hes are done.
"There are no fingerprints on my walls,no mysterious spots on my ca rpets.There are no sounds of arguing,no slamming doors,no laughter,n o I love you Mom.So you see,you are very blessed.What I would give to be going through what you are right now.How I would love to be able to hold my kids,wipe away their tears,share their dreams.Just to watch t hem play.If I had my children,I wouldn't care how my house looked.I w ould be happy just to have them."
Now if you come into my house and see a big old mess,you can think bad thoughts if you want,but I feel greatly blessed.
有一天在杂货店，我和一个朋友排队购物时，不断地向她诉说我的孩子们是多么懒惰。那天清晨，我上完夜班回家，房间又像多数时候那样，一片狼藉。
