The Spice of Life

You need not tire yourself in preparing any program for you to spend a pleasurable time, but rather leap to your little child, your son or your grandson, who has started wandering around the house; mumbling a few words; laughing; he knows where his toys are kept; he is engrossed in playing with them... So, keep him company a little. Play with him a little. Your session with him will be such a pleasure. Follow the example of someone you know who had preceded you in adopting this program. Have you ever heard him talking to you about getting tired of his child? Have you ever heard him complaining? The child is an awesome companion to us all, a beneficial medication that is more potent than to be stashed by a human being (stashing medicines is a common crime in Lebanon!). Once, I revealed some weariness to one of the brethren doctors. He told me: "leave me now and go to your grandson. Today, this is your remedy"! Not only does the child need us. With him, we can always affirm that life is really a pleasure.
