What a reflection reads like

Monday's reflection idea, as a child of 8 to 12 might get it. Adults get the same reflection idea written for their own life.

Example: for a child, 8 to 12

Have you ever said "Not me!" when a cup got knocked over, even though it was you? Lots of kids have. Saying "It was me" feels hard for a second. Then it's over, and there's nothing left to hide.

Think about it: Will you decide right now to tell the truth today, even if it's hard?
