Wish # 114

Love is Patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always preserves.

Love never fails... And now these three remain: faith hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor. 13:4-8, 13

On Being A Mother of
A Little Girl

A careful woman I ought to be
A little lady follows me.
I do not dare to go astray
For fear she’ll go the self same way.
Not once can I escape her eyes;
Whatever she sees me do she tries.
Like me she says she’s going to be,
That little lady who follows me.
I must remember as I go
Through summer sun and winter snow.
I’m molding for years to be
That little lady who follows me.

My wish for you is to grow up and become a beautiful young woman with filled with grace and love.

Blessed

We are blessed each day in what we can do like being able to...Call the USA our country and homeland;Play in the sand whether in a yard, field, or at a beach;Take a chance and reach for the brass ring,knowing it might lead to nothing;Speak our mind without having to hide behind closed doors or whisper in one's ear in fear that we might disappear;Worship as we choose when others might lose a hand or more in another land.America's freedom has blessed us so much,withstanding every perilous test,and never wavering in its protective touch,which has been borne by many valiant ones with most being our beloved sons.And it is for each us to continue our blessed America's success,standing united, proud, steadfast, and tall,leaving no doubt for all that She will never fall.

Pennies From Heaven

I found a penny today,just laying on the ground.
But it is not just a penny,this little coin I found.
Found pennies come from heaven,thats what my Grandpa told me.
He said Angels toss then down,oh how I loved that story.
He said when an Angel misses you,they toss a penny down.
Sometimes just to cheer you up,make a smile out of your frown.
So don't pass by that penny when you're feeling blue.
It may be a penny from heaven,that an Angel's tossed to you.

"Darling Chosen One"

A little bit of heaven smiled at us the first time we
saw your precious face. Usually God decides which
baby to send a mommy and a daddy, but He most
graciously allowed us to choose you from all other babies.
We planned and dreamed of you for a longtime.
Then suddenly, one day, we found you. You are our morning Sun,
our evening Star, our darling Chosen One.

May all you hopes and dreams come true and all your days be filled with joy
and laughter.

A great wish from the Gelnar Family.

Because of you hope fills our days
We close our eyes, we see your face.

Our lives were joined, because entwined
Through far apart, yet side by side.

Destined to meet, destined to share
Our lives and love no matter where.

We love you now, we'll love you then
We'll wipe your tears always again.

The home you've known will always be
Part of your life you'll never leave.

The home that waits and longs for you
Becomes a part of your life, too.

So close your eyes and dream sweet dreams
The world can wait until we meet.

And when you wake although you slept
A whole new world you've never left.

May you always love and appreciate the land where
you came from and the home that you have now.
