Grace's field of dreams....

Through thick and thin…….. The thicker the better.

Remember those dreaded years in elementary school when we were required to
bring a minimum of two sacks of cow pie to complete and pass the grade and
be marked cleared for the school year? We hauled like tons of cow dung for
Gardening class! Thinking back, why was this even a requirement? There was
no concern for safety, no instructions on proper handling (at the very least
we should have been encouraged to wear gloves!). That's not even counting
potential sunburn, dehydration, tetanus, dog bites, etc.. And what about
those manag-alay-ugaw people? Now, we'll say yikes and NO WAY!, but before
it was carefree fun.

Remembering those years, it was only fun when my friend (yes, that is you,
Marites) asked me to join her to pick up cow pie pooh. I only went because
she made it fun to run around the field and look for the biggest and
thickest ones so we can fill the sack right away __ "the thicker the better"
as we say. We considered ourselves lucky because we got the field (of
dreams) to ourselves. After a long afternoon in the field, we treated
ourselves to cool drinks and Cheese Curls. Who knows and who cares if we
even washed our hands before eating (YIKES!).

Aside from looking around for the pooh, we made it fun when we engaged in
day-dreaming. Dreaming the life of becoming rich…..we have become rich in
experience, rich in family and friends, rich in God’s given life.
To Life,

Cheers.
