Thursday at Godfrey Homestead
 Another chilly morning here, I love it when the mornings start getting crisp and you see you breath in the air! This morning I am so thankful for this wonderful life the Lord has given me! I always get a bit melancholy when the seasons change...it's a good time to reflect and think about the events that have happened during the season that is ending and looking forward to the events of the future season. I have so much to be thankful for and I am so grateful for all that the Lord has given me! There was a time when I longed for the biggest, brightest and most expensive....you know, that castle in the sky. I never dreamed that I would be living in a small, humble home on a farm. I always dreamed of going shopping and filling my new SUV to the gills with new clothes and things, but now I realize that dream was just a silly child's dream...I have all I ever need in my Lord, my family and my humble little home. I feel like a Princess in my thrift store dresses because I know that I am the Daughter of THE King!
If you haven't done it yet, I would love for you to sign my Frappr Map! I would love to see how many people from different states read my blog!
