High Nature Traffic Area & Rambling Thoughts!

We were looking out the window this morning, my son and I. He commented on all the traffice out there. We saw a chipmunk going back and forth, a squirrel going back and forth and assorted birds. I guess our place is a popular place.

I sat on the couch looking out the window and enjoying the beautiful music of a PBN Praise Until Dawn podcast. Soothing music...soothing sights for the eyes. Our living situation is difficult, yet we are blessed with a peaceful and beautiful place to live. I often think of the conveniences of living in town, yet, along with that is the trade off of what we have here. Of course, right now there is no other option. But, if I had a choice, I don't really think I would mind the rural living so much if I had a reliable car and plenty of gas money. *smile* There are so many things we would see in town that we would not see here.

I like the idea of neighbors, but not so close that I can see in their windows, and they in mine. Not so close that conversations can be overheard...or TV's or stereos. See, I enjoy quiet and solitude. I would just like to have some things be more accessible to me, you know? I like being able to look out and see nothing but Yahweh's beautiful creation. I also like being able to go outside and see other people's homes within walking distance. This can be the best of both worlds if one has the resources to not be isolated.

The times when it is hard is when someone is sick...when the closest medical care is about 30 minutes away minimum. It is hard to have to get to appointments with no transportation. So, I pray for an economical car. I know...it would take a miracle to get one. But you know, I have seen Yahweh do it in the past. He can certainly do it again. *smile*

In the meantime, I am learning to be content and to appreciate all that I have been blessed with. I have so much more than a lot of people have. For that I am very grateful.
