"Mom, what does a person need for life?" she said. The paper was due next week and she saved asking her Mom for last. She is pretty sure of her answer...
"What does a person need for life? What a wild question and I am driving! Asking that kind of question could cause a wreak!" Her mother giggled like she was a carefree young girl.
"I am pretty sure what your answer will be ...," the daughter said with a twinkle.
"Oh, you do? Well, you should .. I have tried to nurture you into a beautiful woman. {sigh} A person needs manners. I am surprised we still have ears for the lack using one's listening skills or hearts for that matter with all the knives in the backs! One needs to be aware of other's dreams. This world is too fragile to be stomping and stampeding over others. One needs to behave well. It tells of your character and of your faith. One needs to have empathy and compassion in action. Let your tears guide you to make this world better. One needs God .... who else knows us better than our Creator. He tucked our dreams in our hearts and He set us a purpose to fulfill here on earth for His Kingdom."
