A tangled mess!
Tonight I had small group with my kids. It was great as always. We had so much food. Jose brought an ice-cream cake. Nat brought homemade pizza. I brought chips. Chris and David's mom provided doughnut holes and crab dip. (great combination).
We talked about masks and why or why not we want to wear them. We talked about superheros and how they were masks to hide who they are. How hockey players where masks to protect themselves. But sometime when the hockey players wear the masks it distorts their vision.
I tried to encourage them to not wear masks to be themselves. We talked about how to take off the masks and how hard that is. When one takes off a mask that they have been wearing it causes them to be vulnerable. Sometimes people might not accept who you really are. But is it worth someone liking you for who you are not or would you rather wait for someone to like you for you.
How do you take off the masks? Well Tasha said that we need to embrace the truth and to get rid of the lies that we live. Once you have put on masks it is hard to take them off because life becomes a tangled mess.
