Today is National Grape Popsicle Day. I LOVE grape popsicles. And, I don't usually use the word "Love" for inanimate objects but grape popsicles are the bomb in the popsicle world. When I think of grape popsicles, I think about our little ones, because, they LOVE grape popsicles too. With them loving grape popsicles, it means that I don't get grape popsicles. I get stuck with the orange or the cherry, which just isn't the same.
Isn't it amazing what we are willing to sacrifice, willing to give up, willing to do without, in order to give to those that we love? We will do without our favorite popsicle in order to let the one(s) we love have it. But, it often goes much further than that...
Today's word is a quote from Shmuley Boteach that says, "There is greatness in doing something you hate for the sake of someone you love."
Now, I am going to get completely transparent here. There may be some of you out there that love to change poopie diapers; I'm not one of them. I don't gag or shriek but I don't like changing them. But, for the kids I will do it. For someone I love, I will do it. For those I love, I will get up every night and change a pull up and rock them back to sleep. It amazes me to what extent we will go for those we love.
I know you love someone. I know you sacrifice to ensure that your loved ones have what they need. I just wanted to tell you that you are GREAT for doing those things!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
