This blog is a journal of the simple living on a small 2 and a half acre farm. The ups and downs. The good and the not so good. Adventures of Hidden Haven animals and some of my own. The sharing of our frugal, hardworking, attempt to be as self sufficient as possible. Please stop by often as we love company!

Prayer For The Day
Family life is often pedestrian: working, cooking, washing, fixing, building, teaching, learning. It is sometimes painful: being misunderstood, having to give or receive discipline, losing someone, changing, growing.
Yet family life has the power to comfort deeply: feeling accepted, being protected, getting tucked in at night, receiving sympathy. And it offers some of the best moments we will ever experience with others- adventuring, playing, laughing, teasing, hugging, holding. In my family life, God you have given me a safe place of belonging, where I can experience all the facets of life. Thank you for this blessing.

A most beautiful prayer.
It begins and ends with family!
Love Jeanne
How true! I enjoyed these thoughts.
Aye, and family life is the important stuff. I designed my life around being there. What point is there in being an absentee parent and partner, missing out on life! Your posting says it well.
