Growing up I came from a large blended Family. Admiring my Gracious Mama, l too learned to be a Peace Keeper. I was afraid of disappointing and conflict. Being a Peace Keeper is good in my book, as long as it is done in a balanced way.
Daddy was very wise. He told me around Middle School, “ Dawn there are a lot more takers in this world, then givers”. After my parents have passed, I especially remember Daddy’s “Rayfordisms”. My Daddy was named Rayford. I’ve often wondered, why I remember his words, as if he was sitting in his front porch rocking chair, and asking how my day had gone? I talked everyday to my parents. The beginning of every conversation, “ Dawn how are you”? Both Mama and Daddy made me feel cherished and appreciated even until 11 years ago when they passed away.
I’ve recently read , that one can navigate relationships, if at first you can laugh at yourself in life, sing by yourself not knowing all the words, dancing alone in your kitchen, and changing emotions from crying to, I’m going to make a flower arrangement alone in your Home. If you can do these four actions by yourself, then you can be secure navigating love between your husband, navigating prayer for Peace even when you can’t see the horizon.
I am Thankful and Content in my Heart and Home, that my circle of Friendships and Family are smaller. Now you can see the Authentic, Messy, Imperfect, and Beautiful self God created you to be.
