My Little Story
Sister Day Dream sat staring into space thinking about the
lovely tree house she would build as soon as Father Time would take the time,
to build it with her.
Brother Make Believe pretends to be the captain of a ship
and sails from sunup to sundown. He calls his ship, Bonita of the river.
Father Time, lay in his hammock with plenty of time to spare
and no worries of any kind.
In walks Mother Do It Now, singing a happy song, she stops, assesses
the situation, then clapping her hands together she shouts, Sister Day Dream,
Brother Make Believe and Father Time…snap out of it this instant and I mean
now!!!!
Startled to the present, everyone jumps up to do as Mother Do
It Now commands.
In a time long, long ago, there lived a little family who
lived in a cottage next to the river of Shalom.
There were no cars or trains or planes as a matter of fact
they were the only ones who lived within 600 miles of other people.
There was no internet, no television or radio, no cell
phones or electronic games, there was no electricity.
They made candles for light and dug a well for fresh water.
Their garden had a variety of vegetables and fruit
trees. They had sheep for wool and chickens for eggs, herbs for medicine and
spices for seasoning. They caught fish to eat from the river.
Everything they needed was right there on the land they
tilled.
Father Time never rushed or hurried.
Mother Do It Now did everything on the spot.
Sister Day Dream played until her heart was content.
Brother Make Believe created a world of wonder with
magnificent stories and things he conjured up from his imagination.
Life was full and good and peaceful.
Until….
