As I went down the wooden snowy steps,I held the rough fence with one hand,held my crying daughter Kelly with the other and made my way into the yard.I knew everything would be okay if I located my mother.
   Instead of a smile,she greeted me with concern.I knew she had read my face as I'd approached. "What's wrong?" she asked.
   I held the baby out. "I can't take care of this baby," I said simply.My mother didn't take her from my arms as I expected.She smiled slightly,and then replied firmly,"You have to take care of that baby." This was not the reply I wanted.Couldn't she hear the baby crying?I wanted her to fix this problem.Instead,she took off her gloves and asked me in for some coffee.
   Mom held Kelly while I held the coffee cup.At that moment the baby finally stopped crying.I glanced over at Kelly,content in my mother's arms.Her tiny blue eyes were fixed on me,as if to ask,"What's the problem here,Mama?" Her sweet,familiar breath eased the stress in the air.I looked at my mother,feeling foolish but relieved.She stood and placed an arm around my shoulders. "By the time you came along,things were quite the opposite for me.But with your elder brother,you can bet that I often felt helpless."
   The baby showed no signs of our afternoon struggle,while my own hair remained damp and messy from sweat and worry. "Crying is the only way babies have to communicate.Try to listen to her cries and hear them as language.She's not crying to annoy you;she's trying to send a message with the only voice she has."
   Once again,her gentle guidance had supported me through a storm and back into clear skies.

  • 1.Have you ever been sad because of failure?Please remember,for often,achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing.
       A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house.As he was working,a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. "What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors. "I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!" the boy answered excitedly.The older boys began to laugh,telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.After a while,the boy picked up a jar(罐子).He showed it to the visitors.It was full of all kinds of stones and insects.Then he said calmly and confidently, "Maybe I can't finish digging all the way through the earth,but look at what I've found during this period!"
       The boy's goal was far too difficult,but it did cause him to go on.And that is what a goal is for—to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen,in other words,to cause us to keep working!
       Not every goal will be fully achieved.Not every job will end up with a success.Not every dream will come true.But when you fall short of your aim,maybe you can say, "Yes,but look at what I've found along the way!So many splendid things have come into my life because I tried to do something!" It is in the digging that life is lived.It is joy on the journey that really makes sense.
