The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Ecclesiastes 10:20, “Furthermore, in your bedchamber do not curse a king,

and in your sleeping rooms do not curse a rich man, for a bird of the heavens

will carry the sound and the winged creature will make the matter known.”

“How did you know?” I can remember saying to my mother. Honestly, she

knew everything –everything I tried hard to keep a secret. Her answer?

“A little bird told me.” I never understood how a bird to tell anybody anything.

Then, one day I found this verse in the Bible. I don’t think Solomon meant a

literal bird; I believe he just meant that “secrets” just have a way of getting out!

Try as you will, there are things that you never intend others to know that they

end up knowing. So, if it is really a secret, don’t trust anyone but the LORD.

Our Love for you is no secret,

Nana & Dado III
