Lum-Lum is a three-year old little boy who has a baby sister named Yum-Yum.
\n<\/span><\/h6>\n
Lum-Lum loves Yum-Yum and asks Mum-Mum if he can feed Yum-Yum.
\n<\/span><\/h6>\n
Mum-Mum holds Yum-Yum and lets Lum-Lum give his baby sister a bottle each day. Then Lum-Lum tells Mum-Mum his tum-tum is hungry too. So after they feed Yum-Yum, Mum-Mum feeds Lum-Lum. After lunch Mum-Mum gives Lum-Lum his num-num so he can take a nap.<\/span><\/h6>\n
While Lum-Lum sleeps, Mum-Mum makes a phone call to Dum-Dum, her husband, and tells him to bring some milk and cookies home after work.<\/span><\/h6>\n
Dum-Dum says alright and tells Mum-Mum to give Lum-Lum and Yum-Yum a kiss for him.<\/span><\/h6>\n
After Lum-Lum wakes up from his nap he goes to see if Yum-Yum is awake. Mum-Mum was putting Yum-Yum in her swing in the family room. So Lum-Lum went over and gave Mum-Mum and Yum-Yum a kiss.<\/span><\/h6>\n
Dum-Dum came in from work and he brought the milk and cookies home for his sweet little children. \u201cAfter supper you may have some of these delicious\u00a0chocolate-chip\u00a0cookies with milk, Lum-Lum.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n
Lum-Lum gave him a great big smile, he was very happy about that.
\n<\/span><\/h6>\n
Mum-Mum and Dum-Dum began to talk about Dum-Dum\u2019s brother, Bum-Bum who wouldn\u2019t get a job and was always Ho-Hum. Now Uncle Bum-Bum wants to come for a visit.<\/span><\/h6>\n
Mum-Mum was extremely annoyed by this but didn\u2019t say anything to Dum-Dum about it.<\/span><\/h6>\n
Later that night Mum-Mum called her sister Chum-Chum and told her all about Bum-Bum wanting to come to visit.<\/span><\/h6>\n
Chum-Chum listened patiently and finally said, \u201cMum-Mum, if Dum-Dum says it\u2019s OK for Bum-Bum, to visit, then don\u2019t be a ho-hum, like Bum-Bum, it just might be the best thing you\u2019ve ever done. \u201cAnd besides that, what would Gum-Gum say? She\u2019d say, if you can\u2019t say something nice, don\u2019t say anything at all.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n
Looking pum-pum, Mum-Mum says, \u201cWell it\u2019s all Wum-Wum\u2019s fault if he had disciplined Bum-Bum when he was a child, Bum-Bum would have turned out a lot better.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u201cMum-Mum, that\u2019s water under the zum-zum. Wum-Wum did the best he could. Bum-Bum has a good heart and Lum-Lum and Yum-Yum love him dearly.\u201d said Chum-Chum.
\n<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u201cRemember that little song we used to hum when we were kids? \u201cBe careful little mouth what you say\u2026be careful little mouth what you say\u2026for the father up above is looking down with love, so be careful little mouth what you say.\u201d Lum-Lum and Yum-Yum are listening to everything you say about Bum-Bum.<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u201cOh, alright Chum-Chum you are right. I\u2019ll be kind to Bum-Bum.\u201d Mum-Mum sighs and pets the dog, Rum-Rum.<\/span><\/h6>\n
\u201cGood night, Chum-Chum, I\u2019ll let you know how it all turns out.\u201d Mum-Mum says as she hangs up the phone.<\/span><\/h6>\n
Now if you live in the land of Um and you have a Lum-Lum and a Yum-Yum and a Dum-Dum and a Bum-Bum and you have a Rum-Rum and a Chum-Chum and a Gum-Gum and a Wum-Wum\u2026You are happy and blessed. Family is everything. How you treat others is how you will be treated. Gum-Gum would say, \u201cOnly one life will soon be passed only what\u2019s done for Christ will last.\u201d<\/span><\/h6>\n
So have some milk and cookies for your tum-tum. Turn out the lights and say, good night!

Matthew 7:2-5<\/span> The Message (MSG) A Simple Guide for Behavior\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u201cDon\u2019t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults\u2014 unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging. It\u2019s easy to see a smudge on your neighbor\u2019s face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, \u2018Let me wash your face for you,\u2019 when your own face is distorted by contempt? It\u2019s this whole traveling road-show mentality all over again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.<\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n
