The
Handwriting
On
the Wall
A
weary mother returned from the store, Lugging groceries through the kitchen
door.
Awaiting
her arrival was her eight-year-old son, eager to relate what his younger
brother had done.
"While
I was out playing and Dad was on a call, T.J. took his crayons and wrote
on
the
wall! It's on the new paper you just hung in the den. I told him
you'd be mad at having to do it again."
She
let out a moan and furrowed her brow. "Where is your little brother right
now?"
She
emptied her arms and with a
purposeful
stride, she marched to his
closet
where he had gone to hide.
She
called his full name as she entered his room. He trembled with fear
-- he knew that meant doom!
For
the next ten minutes, she ranted and raved about the expensive wallpaper
and
how
she had slaved.
Lamenting
all the work it would take to repair, She condemned his actions and
total
lack of care.
The
more she scolded, the madder she got. She then stomped from his room, totally
distraught!
She
headed for the den to confirm her fears. When she saw the wall, her eyes
flooded with tears.
The
message she read pierced her soul
with
a dart. It said, "I love Mommy," surrounded by a heart.
Well,
the wallpaper remained, just as she found it, With an empty picture frame
hung
to surround it.
A
reminder to her, and indeed to all..
Take
time to read
the
handwriting on the wall !!!
