Making Wishes Come True

It started with a little girls dream .Oma I want to get married in 4 days, to my mom.

Can we have a wedding here ?

mom and dad

Followed by this one, my dreamer. My little bundle of energy and joy-that just wanted to have some fun.

Who am I to be the folder of dreams?

Out came the decorations, the wedding dresses, the flowers, the guest list, the wedding cake.

I am Oma , the listener of dreams.

I thrown caution to the wind, I spread joy, I shower love.

 

For I know in these tiny hearts and in these beautiful faces my maker is well pleased.

The world of make believe, mommy can role play-Oma can too.

Of little darlings growing up and having babies of there own.

May I always see the tender heart of a child, no matter how grown up she may be.

And for a moment time stands still, and I savour it all.

Thank you God for little dreamers.

Thank you God for willing hearts that feed into young lives.

Thank you for Chocolate Chip wedding cakes-made by big and small hands.

Thank you for creating dance, a part of celebrations.

Thank you for sisters, and what they mean to each other.

Protect there little hearts, may they always be friends.

Thank you Lord for such a time as this.

May their life be showered with joy.

And the love in this house.

May they never become to old to be silly.

May they remember a time of wonder.

A time of dreams.

May they always remember this Oma made some wishes come true.

And like all fairytale weddings, it ends with a time to nap.

Boss Lake 2016

A weekend away with friends, definitely what the doctor ordered.

We set up our campers, pulled on our shorts and proceeded to enjoy the weekend. 

What is it about the serenity of water ,and no cell phone service that keeps us coming back to the same place?

The longing for friends and sharing life's moments are very precious to all of us.

Its not just walking the easier parts of life, we belong to a kinship.

A sacred trust that can bear the trouble of our souls and still look so good to each other.

A friendship not dependant on what is given to us, but what we can do to lighten the others load.

Between husband and wife, in a society where divorce is strong, desire to make it work is stronger.

and walking and seeing the beauty of being alive is not taken for granted.

we each have a story, unique, different.

A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been,accepts what you have become,and still ,gently allows you to grow.-William Shakespeare

And so my friend, I just want to say thank you.

It is with you all I want to continue to do my life's journey. You inspire me with you compassion. You surround me with your love. You cause me to laugh at myself and teach me joy. You love on me and my children. And you challenge me to a deeper faith in God.

And remember .

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.-Linda Grayson.
