If you really want the truth about something talk to kids. They have nothing to lose. They are not trying to gain your friendship, buy your love, or be on your good side. You want to know if you look fat, if your weave looks nice, who likes you or can’t stand you in church, ask a kid. They have no filters and they are not worried about your feelings. Kids are not trying to win a popularity contest with adults. We always tell kids to stay in their place, and when they tell us the truth we get mad. Actually, they are staying in their place. They are telling us the truth from their perspective, from what they see, and from what they’ve heard about us. I welcome the truth from my kids, no matter how harsh it may seem. At least kids are learning to speak their minds, unlike adults who lie and try to hide and hold things in. Free yourself and talk to a kid today. You’d be amazed what they have to tell you about you.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
