Flowers Bloom
Lady-Yvonne
Tonight I attended a Grade 12 Grad Banquet. I felt like I was watching a movie. The lives of all these girls passed before me. You see I have held most of these girls in my arms as babies in the Nursery helping them leave their parents arms for the first time. Some caused quite a fuss, others were very passive and quiet.
Then other scenes passed as I recalled some of the bumps in the road these girls have faced. Some have had challenges the size of mountains. Some have had to pick up some pieces and make sense out of this crazy life. They have all succeeded to this "finish" line and how exciting.
I believe all of them have learned that seeking God first is the answer. They've also allowed mentors to speak into their lives whether friends or family. I just love them so much. Most of these gems have hung out at my home...sometimes eating, sometimes playing games or watching a movie or just hanging with my boys.
They are flowers that have been opening as they have been nurtured, watered, weeded and cared for in a tender way. They are so beautiful and fragrant. Now they walk into a world to make a difference because of who they have become.

oops...I'm learning...I didn't think the 1st post worked..
I'll get the hang of things. I need you girls to come over & help me figure a few things out.
That was so be-u-tiful! It WAS soooo good to hear the girls tribute to their parents. Something I've been learning is that I can't be a great mother until I've learned to be a great daughter. Don't worry we'll be by shortly to help you!
