Behold!
My top 10 favorite places in the whole world (in random order):

…
Bakery!
…

I will think of the rest later.

–

Someday,
I will read Hans Christian Anderson to my babies
so they can be amazed
by what an imagination is
and how wonderful it is
–
I will let them listen to classic once in a while,
make sure they know
that head and heart can work together,
that they do work together,
together they create masterpieces.
–
I will get them used
to be such annoying family members,
who will always bother each other with phone calls, text messages, emails, etc,
ignorance should be remain an outsider..
–
I will introduce them to Mr. Az,
one of the great wordsmiths that can sing.
–
I will sit them down in front of keyboard,
of a computer and of a piano.
Hopefully they love them both
to be their toys in the future.
–
I will introduce them to chess at the age of 3,
so I can understand
what my grandpa was thinking back then.
But I won’t have them drink coffee at 3,
oh, no, I won’t!
–
I will get each one of them
the book “God thinks you are wonderful” by Max Lucado,
it will not be just me who thinks they are wonderful,
they have to realize that.
–
I will buy games for them,
I will play with them,
I will search for cheats with them,
I will discuss the game with them,
and we will have thousands moments,
seeing lots of game ending.
–
I will stop every now and then,
to share any idioms, metaphors, and oxymorons on the go.
I will explain to them.
Then we will hunt for some more.
–
I will make sure they read CS Lewis
so they won’t worship based on emotion only
and fall into any kind of blind submissive act.
–
I know I will do my best to make all of these happen.
If it doesn’t, it really is ok,
those things are mostly about me anyway.
–
But one thing,
even if I someday forget about this beautiful plan for my babies,
or if I then have a different preference that makes me decide to do all other things with them,
dear Father,
please craft my words for them,
about One that was once a child,
about One that was given unto us,
about A Creator who walked among His Creatures,
not just walked,
ate with them, laughed with them,
cried, joked, worked with them,
and died for them, for my babies, for us.
Dear Father,
please craft my words for them,
about You.
–

I am.
Always.
With or without reason.
This time is for how they write.
You can always tell when a person writes from their heart and when they don’t.
They certainly do.
Ok, even if you object and say they don’t,
well, let’s face it,
it is really not about how they write.
It is about who they are.

Dedicated to the shrimp and das huhn. (just found das huhn’s blog today, yeah, better late than never). Wonder why they have to choose an animal to be associated with.. What should I choose then? Hmm..
