wall. "A rabbit!" she laughed with all the delight of a four-year old. Her blue eyes shone with pride as
she showed me the animated image she had created. "Daddy, will you show me how to make a tiger?"
she asked. "Sure," I said, "and then we"ll read a story and tell your angels goodnight. "To my youngest
daughter, that meant her bedtime prayer.
Today my daughter is seven, and I no longer get to read the story. She reads it to me, complete with
expressive accents for the story characters.
To say I"m proud of our relationship would be an understatement. We have shared days of joy as
well as tragedy. Our time together has strengthened the relationship of love and special "life stuff" that is
all our own.
I am richer for having planted the spirit of trust in this gentle little person; we have grown together
spiritually, learning much from each other. The special times we spend together, like nights by a Pinocchio
lamp, create memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
So it is with all of our relationships. The trust factor is vital for relationships to develop. Think of on
e of your fondest memories, and you will no doubt find a remarkable relationship at its center--one with
a spiritual quality that shines outward from the heart.
Time together, caring acts, and unconditional love build trust. I suggest that we each spend plenty of
time with our personal "Pinoechio lamps"--those special ways that we choose to strengthen our
relationships.
Relationships take time to develop and maintain. It is not always easy, but the results are priceless.
"Nights by a Pinoechio lamp", wherever those might be for you, will create enduring relationships of
golden "life stuff", spiritual gifts that no one can take away.

| The first time I saw Carlos, I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when I ran into something solid. It was Carlos. "My, you"re tall," he exclaimed. Of course, the class began to laugh. Annoyed, I walked to my seat without a word. I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be last straw. To my relief, Reed was studying and did not seem to be aware of it. I didn"t know why I considered Reed my friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I. "Take that seat," Mr. McCarthy told the newcomer, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room. Carlos smiled broadly. "But I need a couple of dictionaries." Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side. It was the school election that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president. "How come?" I kept asking myself. "How come this shrimp(虾) who"s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?" So when I met Carlos this morning, I said to him. "It doesn"t seem to bother you being short, I mean." He looked up at me. "Of course I mind being short. But there isn"t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I decided to make the best of it. My motto is-don"t be afraid to be yourself." 1.
