Peeling Peaches

Peeling peaches gives one time to think because it doesn't take too much RAM to peel them once you get into the rhythm of it.

This week doing that between Facebook, Gmail, the kids, I thought of the movie I've never seen but heard about - The Bucket List. The list of things you want to do before you die.

I have no such list - other than wanting to go back to China and perhaps.......

I do have a list but it is about others. It is a list of names of people whom I wish to introduce to the joys and blessings I've had these last 3 years, to the person who made this possible, the person who has worked out things for us.

The list mainly contains families who have crossed my path in the last year, who have adopted children from China or Taiwan, who do not know the person referred to above, nor can they introduce their children to this person. It is a list that has grown over time and each and every person represented on that list have become special to me.

A friend offered this in response, which I found very helpful - "Reaching folks about the One who has done so much for you, is like peeling a peach - you don't want to bruise it or rip the skin off. It must be handled gently and peeled slowly. When you do, you find a sweet gem underneath."

Thanks Barbara.

I've met, found, discovered many sweet gems this past year.

Soon back to peeling peaches and more pondering.
