things I don't like and a reason to start loving them

I was driving home today with a car ,but no air. So, I rolled the windows down punched it to 65 MPH and the hand goes out my window " free to chase the wind", and pull it into my steam sauna for the route home.

My daughter has been blessed with a new car and air. She does not understand this concept of chasing the wind,and even retorically remarked it is crazy to have your arm out the window. Why do peolple do that ?Why mom Why??

Well my fortunate daughter most do it to get air, some do to it to feel the freedom that comes with your hand out of your window; up and down it goes like a roller coaster.

It's like a piece of nature that brings alot of fond memories back to me.

Going to the creek on the back of an old pick up truck, all 5 of us would pile into the back, and then simutaneously jump off to chase the hot red road to the cold water. Many summers were filled with whom could get in first and splash the other siblings. I really miss those innocense days we shared as small and young children.

You could not wait until the rain would fall and fill up the ditch, so we could play in the rain water. Why we did not get deathly sick is beyond me.

Our life was so simple and yet so complex!! many things I did not like and I even keep a mental list of them in my mind.

Sharing a bed on those hot summer day's was horrible, being the middle child,between 2 older/taller sisters had great advantages, but in the summer it had none.

I could never reach to get the plums as they ripened, before them, never could get to the creek first, always got the middle in our bed we shared.

My brother was almost 2 years my junior, we always spent time together.

My youngest sister was 6 years my junior and she was like an only child in some ways.

the memories best to recall, was the first of spring always filled us with family we would gather at the creek and hunt eggs. That was to the best of my recollecction always a fun day

Alot of my child hood memories were fond alot were not, but they were the building foundation Christ laid my path into.

So I stepped slowly and swayed alot. I may not have liked the hot summers or the plums I could not reach, even being in the middle of my bed during those hot summer days.

What I loved was it gave me glimpses of frames that fill my memories to this day and alot of laughter has been shared amongst my siblings over the years, at our percieved unfortunate childhood. I love all the memories because it is of God.

I am short because God choose it for me and my sisters are tall because god choose it for them.

My daughter hates to ride with her hand out a window,I love to

Things you may not like ,eventually you come to love through the repect of anothers view. Gods view !Gods purpose!

So chase the wind grab it and bring it into your life and the things you do not like will eventually bring a lesson into your life with a reason to love them.
