Three wishes

6. If you could have three wishes, what would you wish for?

  So I'm finally getting back on schedule with my "30 things my Children Should Know about me". This one is about my three wishes.  A part of me wanted to selfishly pick three superficial, materialistic wishes that were completely irrelevant to the real world because let's face it, sometimes, having to be a grown up with real responsibilities is a little too tough. Wishes to me, are kind of like unicorns.  They're just kind of mythical.  But that makes me sound like a cynical old woman that doesn't believe in magic.   Needless to say this is a hard post for me to write about because I don't know what I want to say about this... But here's my attempt my sweet children.  

      1. I wish for a home for you that is warm and inviting, safe and full of happiness.  A place that we will spend countless nights laughing, playing and making the most priceless memories.  I wish for a place that you will fill with your friends and fun.   I wish for a place that your dad and I will live for decades to come and that you will someday fill with our future grandchildren.   I want a home that's forever.   I moved around more than I want y'all to move and when I think about "home" there are memories spread out all over Kermit and San Angelo. In the event that you ever lose your dad or I, I hope you can find solace in the place we called home, as a family. 

 2. I wish for you, the faith to move mountains.  Kids, I'm a worrier, and a warrior.  But mostly a worrier.   I hope that you inherit the faith that is bigger than your problems that your dad so wonderfully embraces.   I hope that you never doubt gods plan for your life and that you always week him, and his plan.   I hope you never have to worry and that you always have someone to comfort your fear, both in God and in us.   I hope that you always always remember you have a mighty god on your side.  

3.  I wish for an innocent and fulfilled childhood.  Years of silliness, and precious precious time of being a child.  I wish that I could always protect you from everything bad, scary or ugly and that you would only know of love, joy and fun.   I know that it's not possible, and I know that the trials you face in life will help you to become strong resilient adults but part of me wishes you could stay little forever.   


My wishes are probably pretty common for moms but for me they're what my heart longs for.  


Until next time, 

Peace , love and shooting stars.
