Think Soft......Think Hard

A cool concept thought up by my 7 year old daughter.

We just came back from Wisconsin Dells for a little family vacation. We had great fun. There is so much to do.

There is an awesome deer park. You walk around with food and the deer just come right up to you and eat. Some of them come up just to be petted. It was really neat. They are so beautiful and fragile looking. Big beautiful eyes and long eye lashes. Such kind faces. I am not sure how people can shoot them.

There is also a mining company where you get a bucket of dirt and sand. You put the contents in a strainer and get to keep whatever you find. We came home with some amethyst, garnet, quartz, sapphire and emerald. This sounds like an expensive treasure but I am quite certain these stones aren't truly jewelry making quality. However it is still a treasure to us!

This mining store also sold small pieces of dinosaur bone fossils. Savanah was very intrigued by this.

Later at the hotel we were talking and she said the following priceless gems.

"When you think about the deer park soft, it seems like no big deal. But when you think about it hard. Wow deer were just walking right up to me and letting me pet them."

Later she said,

"When you think about the dinosaur bones soft it doesn't seem special, but if you think about it hard, I'm holding a dinosaur bone!"

I like this concept! Let's look at everything hard! How wonderful to fully take in the magic, the true meaning and importance of things.

Take a hard look at the significance.

That sweet beautiful girl has wisdom beyond her years. We have a 6-year-old in church who makes some profound declarations out of the blue. He's been known to silence the room full of adults while they think instead of speak. I'm pretty sure we're all thinking "hard" about what Zeke just said.
