A friend of mine told me early this week that life is not a fairy tale. I had to think about that one. Fairy tales are full of trouble and hardship but in the end, it all works out and there is joy and hope.
That sounds a lot like the Christian life to me… perhaps not a fairy tale (as there are no fairies – apologies to Tinker Bell), but it’s better.
I have found someone who was lost to me, or more correctly – she found me.
My firstborn, baby girl – called me two days ago – and I have been spinning with delight ever since! 😀
I never expected or dared to hope to see her in this life, yet I always half-expected her to knock on my door (and often thought that I’d better clear off the table in case she was coming). Funny. Amazing. Across the years and miles she was thinking of me too, and I will always be grateful for the second gift, of having her in my life.
