FARM COUNTRY

I bought a new camera, digital of course, in hopes of sharing some photos with my readers. Today, my husband and I had gone to Wal-Mart to pick up a few supplies, and as we do sometimes we took a different route home. Going down the road through farm country, my husband slowed the van, with no cars behind us we were able to stop in the road; and enjoy a doe and her two babies cross our path. Guess where the new camera was, you got it, home. This wonderful moment in the universe will only be shared in words.

It was a delight to see. They just strolled across like no one was watching. I love deer in the wild. I don’t love them eating my shrubs or my garden, but that’s a part of life. Driving through the country is enjoyable seeing the cattle and horses a long side the road. We can get so tied up in living everyday that we forget about the roots of America. Agriculture was our first occupations. We grew our food and sold it or traded it for our supplies. Sundays we gathered at church to praise the Lord for his gifts of the land and the safety of our families. When a neighbor needed a barn, we were all there helping to build it.

The industrial revolution changed this way of life, and that’s not a bad thing. It’s just a new way. We are now in the technology revolution, and we continue to evolve. What will be next?

Will we find that we need to go back to our roots to save our earth? Have we gone too far or perhaps this is part of the plan God has for us. I don’t know the answers, but I know we learn from our mistakes and grow from them, if we take the time to study history.
