A Positive Development

This evening my nearly eight-year-old son called me into his bedroom and informed me he would like to have a reading lamp placed next to his bed so that he can read every night before falling asleep. He then meticulously described how he we should rearrange the furniture in his room in order to make room for the lamp.

I never could have imagined that the mere thought of purchasing a lamp could bring so much joy!

That's cause for joy indeed. I consider the love of reading to be a direct gift from our Father, and it thrills me when I see a child developing this love. I am surrounded by adults who not only declare it but are absolutely PROUD of the fact that they have not read a book in years. May God protect our children and grandchildren from such a curse. And may your son wear that lamp OUT.

@ SK - Reading is not for everyone, but I don't understand people who take pride in not reading. In any case, I hope my boy does wear the lamp out. I don't mind buying a new one monthly if needed.
