A Field of Wild Daisies

A Field of Wild Daisies
As a child, one of my favorite things to do was to walk in a field of daisies.  As I got older, the daisy remained one of my favorite flowers.  To me it was and is symbolic of purity and wholesomeness.  When I was married back in the early 70's, weddings were beginning to lose their traditions.  Wanting to be among the "Flower Children", I chose to wear daisies strung through my ringlets instead of wearing a veil.  I wanted to be married in a field of wild daisies, but that was too shocking for the village community.  The village was made up of conservative farmers and Norwegian Lutherans.  Being naive and people pleasing, I agreed not to be so "radical and eccentric".  However, today I wonder how many of them sleep beneath a daisy in the field of their eternity.  And would a child bride married in a field of wild daisies still cause their sleep a disturbance.   
It took years, but I learned to trust Christ and His Truth as my guide, instead of the will and thoughts of others.  For I am now free indeed!
