“When ALL is said and DONE, just add LOVE
Love
When the grandchildren came to stay overnight with me, I would always have their favorite foods, for all their meals.
On this particular morning, so bright and early, I was making a bigger batch of pancakes.
The kitchen was like a restaurant with so many delicious smells inviting everyone to come on in and enjoy.
The pancakes made a real hit with the grandkids, as they were now asking… what made them so good?
My reply was, “I have a very secret ingredient, like all the best of good cooks”.
One started looking in the spice rack, and another in the pantry, and the searching began to be a very serious search… for this extra special item, that will make pancakes taste so good.
When children are young and looking for something so special, an intangible item a substance to see or feel, you know they are looking for the truth.
So, I took them to the kitchen, for an inspection of the evidence, finding nothing visible, had to leave… the cat out of the bag.
“Everything I do for You… I add Love.”
That made their day.
Now twenty years later, I still hear…
“Grandma put Love in this for us”.
