A Life Lived With Joy

This is a story I wanted my children and grandchildren to hear. I grew
up during the depression of the 1930's. I remember when a penny
to spend was a rarity. I remember when the dust storms roared in
and turned the days into night. Because we were close to the land
I remember the change of seasons, the habits of the farm animals,
and how very dependent we were on weather. We suffered from
winds, snowstorms, droughts, and insects, but we rejoiced in good
years, enjoyed our neighbors, and trusted in God to care for us.
No TV, no cell phones, no video games, but life was good.
