I like how you correlated prayer and submission – another complexity to ponder. This has been an interesting reflection for me discovering how much I falsely think wishing will make something happen. DUH!

My mom was unique. I think writing does teach us the difference between wishing and working. I think it is interesting to discover I am still saying I wish all the time like that will make it happen Ha will I ever learn??? Hope you are having a terrific week

Those two elements (among others like prayer and submission) must be in play if we are to succeed in any endeavor. This statement especially grabbed my attention: “Working creates the structures and fills in the foundation under that wish.” What a clear metaphor for the relationship between working and wishing. What an eye-opening, insightful post, Jean!

I dreamed for years about writing a book without doing any real work towards that goal. When I finally committed my heart and mind to the task, I made that dream, that wish, come true, but not without lots and lots of hard work. Thanks for this inspiration today, my friend. Blessings!
