Things that dawned on you late in life

I'm sure I have many.

This morning it dawned on my that if I put the cream and sugar in my cup first and then pout the coffee, I can fill the mug up perfectly.

Those kids aren't actually hurting anything jumping on the bed; let them have fun.  Maybe burn off some energy.

1962 I was 10 years old, My Father and Mother had just surrendered to go the to the Mission field in the Belgian Congo. We were going to join my  dads brother, a medical Doctor, out in the bush 350 miles south of the capital, Léopoldville. We were located on the Angola/Congo border, on the Kwango River, 50 miles south of the territory capital Kasonga Lunda. For my brother and I it was just one big adventure after another.

It was not until 20 years later, when I started have children of my own, I finally understood how much faith and commitment it took my parents to fulfill what God called them to do.  :pray

Well, this wasn't exactly 'too late in life,' but it happened.  Right before I left home to go to college in another state, my mother advised me, "Son, don't go up there and be a sexual intellectual."  I thought she was telling me to watch where I put my p**ker.  After I graduated, I realized she had told me not to be a bleeping-know-it-all.
