we would surely all know joy.
we would all know love.
we would all know peace.
Thank you for bringing me blue whales and bubbles, kisses for no reason, green jello, conversations with God and trains.
You taught me a lot this year.
All of those things would make this world a much nicer place.
Hugs to you Ms. Queen and Merry Christmas to you and all that you love.
Beautiful writing, as always, Queen Mimi.
I wish you and your dear ones a peaceful Christmas.
P.S. I have some catchin' up to do soon as far as reading your blog goes. Woops. Looking forward to it.
I was trying to leave you a gift but ran into technical difficulties.
Shall re-try to obtain that fruitcake for you.
What a lovely post. Through the eyes of children...if we would just listen, they could teach us a lot.
That is actually quite thought provoking.
Jesus did say 'Be like unto children'.
Shannon - That boy is something else. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Patti - I have some catching up to do as well! Merry Christmas.
And I can't wait for the fruitcake!
Pam - I'm trying to listen. Really I am.
Crushed - He did say that. They have the wisdom we need.
...wake fresh-faced and excited for the adventures of the day.
...run outside and jump into the pile of leaves, just because they were there.
...pause for a PB&J sammich, a glass of milk, and a cookie.
...spin around in circles until they get so dizzy they fall down, giggling.
...look up in the sky and find the shapes.
...ask all the questions, and follow up all the answers with "why".
...sit quietly for story time.
Travis - Good to see you in a writing mood, my dear friend. Lovely.
PS: Thank you for your kind words Mimi. Friends like you make my world a much better place!
Beautiful Christmas Peace Globe, Mimi. Christmas Peace to you, to your boy and to all you love and hold dear.
It sounds like you did a wonderful job of raising him - you should be very proud.
I'm late visiting, but thought I 'd still comment on this warm post full of a child's love. How wonderful. It reminds me of when my kids were kids. Much as I dread the G-word, I know I will love it when the time comes. For now, I'll see it through your eyes. Thanks for sharing the love, Mimi!
In case I never mentioned this...or in case you forgot....make sure you save all the Baby Boy Blosts (that's blog and post) in one place for safe keeping.
