hear no evil, speak no evil

hey emily,

when max was three or four and up to some orneriness, he would say to
me, "mommy, don't see me!"

what a great illustration of how we want to hide the ugliness in
ourselves.  unfortunately, the Lord tells us that whatever is done in
secret, will be shouted from the rooftops.  not exactly a refrigerator verse...

it has been said that the truest indicator of our hearts' condition is how
we speak to our husbands and children when no one is listening...how
we talk about our friends when they are not around...how we treat
those who are the least in the Kingdom.

gulp,
lea
