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, bright and early, I was making a bigger batch of pancakes. The kitchen was like a restaurant with delicious smells inviting everyone to come in and enjoy. The pancakes made a real hit with the grandkids, asking what made them so good? My reply was,”I have a secret ingredient,  like all good cooks”.

One started looking in the spice rack, and another in the pantry, and the searching begam to be a very serious search for the item, that makes 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”.
