Embracing change
is often fueled by
our willingness to
shift perspective.

When we left the farm to move back to a metro suburb there were many changes.

I was thrilled to be reconnected to my husband after a 14-month time of transition for his new job and our property sale.

A vastly different lifestyle, environment and outlook awaited us on the other end of this 800-mile journey. Rather than grieving in the new location, however, the Lord graciously shifted our perspective to enter in fully to His new gifts and era.

There, at The Meadows of the Good Shepherd, we enjoyed our animals and the quiet peace, set apart from hustle and bustle of road noise. It was a good life. Simple. Quiet. Joyful. Filled with beautiful sunrises and sunsets, a view of deer feeding, wild turkeys, our redbud grove and peonies as well as the smell of freshly cut hay.

In the new location, however, I no longer see the sunsets, sunrises or have ready access to the serene nature setting I loved so much at my country house. There is a change of dark to light and back, but I cannot behold the brilliant palette of vivid color that graced our horizons on the farm.

The sunrises and sunset are still happening in the city for God does not change. We’ll just have to travel a bit to find them and remain open to the adventure that presents.

It is all a part of the trade offs of one season to the next. Like winter to spring and summer to fall — each has their own beauty.

Little bird upon the tree
Looking in the window
Grandmother Great was resting
Her birthday at 100

You've waited patiently my friend
The signal to Grandmother
A cardinal seen in her path
She said meant she'd see her lover

This saying from a former day
Of the early 1900’s
Bringing comfort to a family still
In the passing of Grandmother

God knows our hearts and what we need
He is so very kind
To give us hope in a simple way
Quieting our minds
