Oh, to live the simple life!!! As I was driving to Branson this past Friday I past a horse and buggy. I have often wondered in all our craziness what it would be like to live like the Amish live. Would the kids appreciate the simple things in life? Would they be able to survive without t.v., internet, cell phones, video games, and of course electricity. I wonder, would our family relationships change? I guess the question is, would Ray and I be able to handle all the hard labor that would be involved living this life style? Not to mention in our fast paced world could we slow down and be happy with simplicity? Hmm, if only for a few months, would we all learn to get along better, appreciate everything we have, and never disrespect each other again?
O.K., who am I kidding? Honestly it is a great idea, but it would be a huge failure. Everyone is so used to the modern world we live in. I guess for now I will just hope that technology does not replace relationships and that dinner time can mean something to the family again, besides just eating on the run.
I feel blessed for what I have and hope I never take anything for granted, especially my precious family, whom I love more than words can say!
