A long awaited place of peace

When I was a child we used to take long trips in the car to visit my Grandma...along the way we would pass a big yellow farm style home on sprawling green acres. It was so beautiful that I used to pretend that was my home. I imagined that I had lots of children and a very sweet happy husband. I could picture their big smiles as we sat down to an extra long kitchen table to enjoy cream of wheat with chocolate chip breakfasts together in the morning. I imagined my children and my husband so loving and happy that from that life of peace and security we could embrace and help many people with open and generous hearts. My Mom and I named the place of my dreams "Ladies, Lassies and Ponies". The ideology of that lovely place has been in my heart all of these years and I prayed to God that one day I might raise my family on such a piece of land...where we could create a little slice of Heaven for God's Will to be done...and serve Him in whatever dynamic he called us. Last year God lovingly granted my sweet husband and I 5.9 beautiful acres to call "home" on a beautiful piece of green pasture just like my childhood dream. Now, as we begin our journey to raise our children on this little slice of Heaven... Ladies, Lassies and Ponies is actualized.
