	Pyrates Deck - Re-wrapping Life

Posted by: EmmyRose, 8:06 AM GMT on November 29, 2009

So we all arrived in San Antonio
with bountiful of gifts to the godchildren
hoping to begin their Thanksgiving
and usher in the magical season.

The gifts were well received: and before
our eyes Dustin's Transformer toy transformed
him into a hero with courage and the shy voice displayed
only five minutes before, suddenly rang out
with bravado and the declaration~ "This is the toy
I've waited for all my life "

Perhaps when he's 18 and wants a car, I shall
reminisce about the toy he received at 4.

* and Bella - moments before opening her gift,
gave a cat 5 performance that could
have given Mother Nature a run for her money:
But as this 2 year old slowly began to dress herself
before our very eyes turned into
a costumed Barbie princess complete with pink purse, high heels,
earrings and pink gloves. She walked around the house
with the confidence of any royal living today:
and with complete abandonment. She believed.

I realized that although these material gifts
will eventually fall by the wayside of life:
There is a soul giving gift that children give to us.
Through their spirit and action if we truly listen
and receive they give us:

re-affirmation, re-awakening and re-minding of
what we used to possess until we let it go.
Or forgot how to believe
Or we're so busy wanting to CONFORM, we CON ourselves
and lose our creative way.

Or so afraid of being laughed at, we lose
our sense of humor and confidence in our
being.

And although we gave Dustin and Bella
the "best gift ever" little did they know
the life gift of transformation and
spiritual transfiguration
was given to me.

This time, its a keeper.

After running, playing, telling stories
and long walks they re-taught me:

1) Use the imagination - its a gift to be shared
not feared

2) Ask questions until you understand - that's
empowerment

3) Unconditional love - nothing like a kid to
just shout out, "I love you" at any given moment.

4) If you color outside the lines - you will
discover more spaces to create in.

I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PICTURES:

May all your gifts be re-warding.

Dustin: This is the toy I've waited for all my life"
