Good morning dear friends!
I made the mistake of reading a couple of news headlines before going to bed last night. This world is in a mess...troubling and unsettling to say the least. My thoughts weighed on my subconscious through the night I suppose and I woke up this morning wishing it was all just a dream...I wished that I could somehow travel back along a country road to my childhood to a simpler, less complicated life. I don't like what the world has changed into...I don't like the uncertainty and turmoil we experience on a daily basis.
Am I the only one who feels this way or do some of you long for the good old days of coffee on the porch before taking hold of the plow...of church picnics and barn dances...of quiet times in the woods and locusts singing...of firefly catching and Christmas gatherings...of fishing holes and children playing...of grandma's cooking and treehouse building...of hay hauling and horseback riding...of mom's comforting voice and grandpa's workshop...of a warm and pastel sunset over a fresh plowed field or the gentle voice of a friend long gone??? Wouldn't you love to revisit those days and moments gone by??
It's most certain that those carefree days of our childhood are gone...that life will never be carefree again, but one thing we can draw from our past and place hope for our future in, is in our relationship with our timeless and unchanging Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! All our hopes and dreams are secure...safe and sound in the care of the One who loves us more than anyone ever could!!
Yes, country roads and memories are there for us to look back on with fondness, but joy unspeakable is coming in the morning!!!
I love you all!
