What....

I want for Christmas this year.... Well, it 'caused me to look back and think about two years ago at this time and for that matter I thought about four years....

Four years ago, I was packing to spend this time with my littlest sister in Australia.... I dream of a lifetime!

Two years ago, I was wanting a phone call as my gift... not my usually asking, but what I wanted. I got it and then I prepared to spend this holiday in Bali, while on another dream come true.

So I reflect... I'd really love to ask for another wish, dream to come true. Earlier this year, I thought it just might. I thought that I might actually get the one wish for Christmas that I have been asking for for a long, long time. But, it doesn't look like I will get that wish this year.

BUT, what I want is to Live, Love, and most importantly Laugh fully and abundantly as I began to during the beginning of this decade in my life.

Interesting thing is is hearing these words in a song on the radio. It is a new one by Point of Grace.... Kind of just sums a bit up of how I am feeling at this particular moment in time.

The Lyrics to "I Wish" are:

I wish I didn't feel so helpless
I wish I didn't act so selfish
I wish I didn't wring my hands night and day
My hair was a little bit smoother
My jeans fit a little bit looser
And I always knew the right things to say
And I wish I wouldn't hide what?s been going on inside
And I wish you wouldn't get scared and run away

Chorus
I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someone
To hold em and to love em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

I was there was a cure for cancer
I wish somebody had an answer
And all God's children, never got hurt
I wish Eve never bit that apple
You men never went to battle
And I didn't get so mad at the world
I wish I was more like Jesus
And could pick up all the pieces
And make a better life for my baby girl

Chorus
I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someone
To hold em and to love em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

For everything I am wishing
I know GOD is up there listening
So, I say my prayers when I go to bed
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Oh pray my wishes come true
Oh

Chorus
I wish I was doing better
With all the things that matter,
I guess I got some learning to do
I wish everyone had someone
To hold em and to love em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

I know wishes come true
I wish, I wish
