I am in love with the view out our kitchen window. I pray it never changes, though inevitably it someday will. Today I found a moment of beauty just sitting at my kitchen table and watching the real life, still-life that lay before me: a wide open field blanketed in snow, a few barns, a horse, and endless sky. My husband and I often dream of living on an acre or two in a peaceful countryside-away from crowds, traffic and business. When I look out our kitchen window, I feel the peace of the country in my backyard. It's nice to be able to look out and breathe in the stillness and simplicity of a quiet winter farm. Life is often too busy and rushed. It's my own fault that it is, too. I'm grateful the Lord has placed a reminder to slow down right outside my kitchen window. "Be still, and know that I am God." In hectic, anxious moments, it helps me to look out the window and remember to be still and feel His love.
