The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. ~ Isaiah 9:2
This Advent season I have been pondering many things.
It dawned on me the other day that I am living my dream life. I have no unfulfilled longings. I like where I live. There is no place that I want to travel to or see. There is nothing that I want to do that I am not already doing.
I spend my days reading, writing, talking and laughing with my five children, walking in the woods, watching the birds, singing and listening to my kids make music, knitting, sewing, and baking, growing flowers and vegetables, raising chickens, and swimming in the summer. I get to educate my children at home. I get to keep any pet that I fancy (and I've fancied a lot of them over the years: hamsters, mice, frogs, turtles, anoles, fish, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, and cats). I get to worship God openly in the way I choose (I moved from Protestantism to Catholicism eight years ago).
--This is because of my husband's love for me. Although he is not much of a church goer, he may just be the best Christian that I know, and he is certainly the best man.
He's also quite handsome.
And very strong : )
