Today I went home.
And drank deeply from the great strength and beauty I found there.
I crossed a few of its bridges--
bridges which have known my footsteps before
and
walked along riverbanks that had not.
I saw the beauty and the power of God's creation
in a new, very exciting, personal way
and my heart overflowed with the deep emotions I felt.
~
They were perfect moments there-
alone, but not alone-
in the midst of nature
and
I would have loved to stay longer
but it was time to return to my real home.
So I walked back to the place where Farmer Boy waited for me...
and we drove away.
Tonight, I sit curled up in our recliner.
I browse through the photos of the day,
reliving again and again what I experienced there in those precious moments of time.
And then it dawns on me...
I have not left that sweet, sweet place after all--
for it has somehow become part of me,
imprinted forever on my heart and in my mind
and
because of that I can
always go to my sweet, sweet home when I want to.
Blessings,
Aimee

Thanks so much for taking time to leave a comment! I LOVE hearing from visitors and your comments most always leave a BIG smile on my face and sometimes a little giggle too! I do moderate comments to ensure a family friendly blog and also to catch any spam so your comment won't post immediately unless I am online at that time. However, I do check for comments regularly. If you don't see your comment post within a day or two, it's most often due to it being a Sunday (when I limit my Internet use) or, at times, a computer issue. Again thanks and have a GREAT day:)
