Blessings From Home

A Wonderful Quote

On my many searches through the world wide web, I have found so many wonderful things(and some not so wonderful), but recently I found this quote and it truly spoke to my heart.

" If home is where your heart is, then that's where your homestead is, too. Too many prospective homesteaders think they have to move, or worse, have to move to some relatively wild and unsettled location. For some, this is because they don't have a very realistic picture of what modern homesteading is really all about. Others simply fail to see the opportunities that lie untapped in their own backyards .... there are homesteaders in just about any location you could think of: not only in deep forests and on mountain slopes, ... but on suburban lots, small town tracts, and even in the tiny yards of large cities. ... Some people grow sprouts in a closet and mushrooms under the kitchen sink. they bake their own bread from home-ground wheat and sew at least some of their own clothes. They are at least partially self-sufficient without so much as a square inch of land. "

I love that quote!!!! It is true too. So many think they need to be in the country to do so. Of course, we are to bloom where planted and for now, this tiny town is where God has planted us!!

God's Blessings,
