Fields of Poppy's




Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love poppy's. When I got married I wanted Poppy's and blades of corn as my bouquet I did not get it. Maybe one day. Artificial poppy's are sold on remembrance day and before in England to remember the dead and those who served in my country. We so easily forget at what price freedom came. As I look back now at my marriage and my life and those who I have loved and lost I think Poppy's should be sold every single day least we forget the price that so many paid. Perhaps the biggest debt we forget is the one who died on a cross. I don't know if poppy's where there nor do I know if fields of gold were near. In reflection of my life the last time I was in England I saw loads and loads of poppy fields perhaps it was a sign of things to come. I will never forget the many tears I have cried the many blood shed hands who have labored for many a soul in prayer and especially for me. Least we forget that the soldiers are not always the ones who die on battle fields they are the ones who labor on their knees in prayer.
Please have a cup of tea with me today.
