Embrace tattle telling

Names are made up to protect the innocent (or in this case the guilty!)
Today I am thanking God for Tattletales! My whole life I have spent with the awful acknowledgement that I was a tattletale! Knowing I was the cause of so much torture for my siblings has often brought feelings of regret or sorrow. I spied on my sister kissing her boyfriends in the yard,so I HAD to tell. I found contraband in their secret places and was quick to the whistle, I was guilt-ridden for seeing a movie and couldn't wait to free myself by telling mom and dad that "they" forced me to go. I snuck somewhere I wasn't suppose to be and couldn't last a night before confessing. I was always quick to tell, even on myself. It struck me today that as a mom, I long for a tattletale! We recently had and incident with one of our daughters that I wish we had found out about sooner. If only we had a tattletale like me! All these years of guilt and anguish only to realize Tattle telling is GREAT! And down deep my siblings are thanking me for it! RIGHT?!?!?!?!?
