The other day Boy 2 was helping make dinner. I was making a sweet and sour sauce and asked him to bring me the brown sugar. He did so with great delight as the one who brings the brown sugar gets to eat one lump.
Boy 2 opened the box and peered inside. His eyes became huge and he reached in and pulled out a very large sweet lump. He walked over to Boy 1, carefully holding the lump so it wouldn't break apart. He then asked Boy 1, "Do you want a mouthful of joy?" Boy 2 then lovingly proffered this massive sugar ball to his dear brother.
While Boy 1 enjoyed his mouthful of joy, I took delight in the loving gift Boy 2 had shared. My heart was full of joy for these two brothers, who in that moment were the best of friends.
