The Simple Things

When we go through bad times, it really makes you stop and think about the simple, little things.

Funny how things change as you get older.

Too bad we can't be wiser when we are young.

One day I told one of my daughters to go look at a plant that

had the most beautiful blooms.

She didn't act interested.

I said, "That don't do anything for you, does it?"

She said, "no!"

Then I thought to myself......she will

appreciate its beauty one day.

You look at things different as you get older.

My "Sweet Hunter" had to go on a business trip

so I had a couple of days at home.

I only left once for 30 minutes.

As I worked in my house I took my time

and enjoyed every minute.

The whole time I couldn't help but think

how blessed we are.

Not many people can go out in your back yard and

get fresh eggs.

It took me years to realize how content

I am. It's the simple things. It doesn't take much

to be content in this life. So many people are searching for

happiness when it's right in front of them.

I watch very little news because this world has gone crazy.

The hate that is out there is so sad.

I think I will just stay in my little home, bake my cookies,

pick my garden, bake bread, cook meals, wash clothes, etc.

With our granddaughter sick, our family is taking one day at a time. If I have learned anything in this storm we are in, it is to be thankful and appreciate the little things.

Philippians 4:11

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
