Simon's wish came true.

"Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush;
anxious for greater developments and greater wishes and so on;
so that children have very little time for their parents;
parents have very little time for each other;
and the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world."

I am thankful that Ali, Chris and Simon do take time to be with each other. This photo is an example of making time for Simon's wish to come true. He was able to have his first ride on a horse over the Thanksgiving Holiday. I pray that all families may find peace in their homes and in our world.
