We’re so glad that Heavenly Father decided to add families, love, music, color, flowers, trees, and birds and so many other wonderful reminders of how much he cares for us when he created the earth! The list of ‘sub-categories’ would be endless! In actuality, Sweden is as typical as any country on the planet, as all these things exist everywhere; however, they are woven into what makes this beautiful country of Sweden a particularly endearing tapestry.
Families and Love – The Warp and the Woof!
In our everyday observances, in homes and/or out in the public, families are busy being families…kids are busy being kids! One generation after another teaching the next about life and passing on traditions and shared experiences. It’s a great system…families are designed to be a safe place to learn and grow. A place where together you help and encourage each other, and love one another even when mistakes are made. Thank goodness for forgiveness! Thank goodness for families being the training ground to learn that making correct choices actually makes you happy in life and that in a family you are bound to each other in a special bond of belonging and of being loved. “Warp n’ woof?” The main threads criss crossing anchor threads in weaving – holding together whatever is woven into and through the cloth or tapestry.
Folk Music – An Expression of Happiness!
Let’s talk about why Swedes ‘Hambo’! They love music and they love to dance to melodies and tunes that have been played and evolved from village to village over the years! ” In Sweden, the term “folkmusik” (folk music) usually refers to orally transmitted music of the rural classes in “the old peasant society”, as the Swedish expression goes.” Dancing and music are some of the best ways to express joy in life’s journey!
Swedish Color, Flowers, Trees, Birds…and a Sense of Swedish Ambiance…(No words needed!)
‘…Doing our best to stay on our toes!’
