Too Old I shiny lollipop rested on the \ windowsill over the kitchen ** sink. Sharon, the dishwasher, was finding her hated job a bit more tolerable by carefully watch ing the treasure and tasting of its sweetness. Mother stepped over to the sink and lifted the lollipop from the sill to a saucer. “ Don’t take that,” Sharon com manded excitedly. “That’s mine.” “ I know it is, Honey. I only wanted to put it on the saucer. I don’t want it.” “ Don’t you like lollipops?” the 8-year-old questioned incredulous ly- “ No, I don’t.” Sharon stood deep in thought, sudsing and re-sudsing a plate. Suddenly, with a sparkle of un derstanding in her eye the little miss said, “ Oh well, you’re too old to eat lollipops.” To her little girl’s mind there could be no other explanation for Mother’s lack of interest in such a delicacy as a lollipop except on the basis of age. And as a matter of fact, Sharon was correct in her conclusion. Mother well remem bers her childhood delight in lolli pops, and her first taste of one at the age of 10 years. But one day, Mother doesn’t remember when, the charm of lollipops seemed to dissolve into the mists. She no longer 'thought they were a deli cacy dropped from heaven. The littie girl was growing up. Childhood with all its charms and dreams and delights is a time of immaturity, of imperfection. It is a time of building, of learning, of growth. It is always a yearn ing for tomorrow; for a tomorrow of greater privileges; of new worlds to be conquered. Then one day the wishes become a reality; the dreams a fact. Dear Father, help me to daily throw off every vestige of spiritual childhood, and by Thy grace may I grow and mature in spiritual stature.
