PRAYER

I have a lot on my mind and first and foremost is becoming a momma..... I am also looking at turning the big 49 in a few weeks which is marching towards the countdown of the big {{{{{ 50 }}}}} *gasp*!!!!! So I have been worrying .... About everything!!! I don't think I am a worrier, not any more than the average person.... But this adoption is well, put me into a hurricane of worry.... Hmmmmm, I will be 68 when my daughter graduates High School.... So I tell myself that I will turn 68 whether or not I have a daughter graduating from High School, and boy will that 18 years be full of Joy.... Then I worry about MONEY.... How will I afford daycare, lessons, retirement????? I know everyone goes thru this and I am not unique.... So I pray..... And sometimes my prayers get answered thru others..... Something you say,you do, or you write. Last night I offered up a prayer about these very things.... This is the answer that hit me today when reading a posting of a good friend's blog.

Some would gather money along the path of life
Some would gather roses, to rest from worldly strife
But I would gather children from among the thorns of sin
I would seek a little curl and a big and toothless grin

For money cannot enter in the land of endless day
And roses that are gathered will wilt along the way
But, oh, the laughing children, as I cross the endless sea
And the gates swing wide in heaven
I can take them in with me.

I am not one to share my spiritual side to many.... Those who know me know me as a fun loving wild girl.... Those who really know me know me as the before mentioned but also with a spiritual side. Whatever, I feel more at peace with my decision....
