I hope you enjoy what you read here and will consider some of the happier times of life. My daughter says everything I write is happy and life just isn't happy all the time. What a smart college kid! My answer: Life is what you make of it. We are all given a clean slate at birth. I can just envision God creating me and saying, "Wow...I made a beautiful world for you. Go make it yours!" And I think I have.
Sure, there have been some stubbed toes along the way, but they heal and I have learned how not to stub my toe again (in that same way). I get real creative in other ways to stub my toes. It's painful at times...real painful...extremely painful, but I learn and go on to see the good things God has for me.
You will find that some of my happiest moments were living life on the farm as a young girl. Those were the times of innocence. I feel that I have done a great disservice to my own 3 children because they never knew the farm and the carefree lifestyle that I did. So to alleviate that problem a little, I told them stories about the farm when they were little. At bedtime they would squeal, "Tell me a story about when you were a little girl." Today, they tease me about that life. "Yeah, Mom, back on the farm..." But that's okay...let them tease. They've learned a lot from those stories. Many life lessons were learned through living life on the farm and the retelling of the lessons.
So again...I hope you enjoy my blog. Be happy...lessons abound in the healing of stubbed toes.
