Country Life

Posted in On my heart

I can't help but be so thankful to live in the country and have the desire  and deep down longing for  rural living! I love it! I am so  thankful to be able to live this way! When I look up out of my bedroom  door out into our back fields I see our chicken coup with a couple of hens and our rooster that seemed to escape the chicken fence. I see our two horses grazing and patiently waiting for me to fill their water again. I see trees outlining our fields and gently swaying in the wind. I also see our firepit that my husband  made for us. We have many memories sitting around  as a family and talking late at night. I also have your pictures on your blogs to look at and admire. I feel so much at home while I am blogging with people of like mindedness. In a world of self gratification and only having the best I often feel so out of place. I say to myself "Don't they get it?"The true joy of life is always found in the simple things. Being at home and working around the animals and garden and just being together with your family. To me that is contentment. Making my house a home is what I do best! I thank God for making me this way and for putting that desire in my heart. I couldn't imagine life any other way.
