It could be softer....Patches of Flowers in the field.  I can definitely say without a doubt the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence.  What is planted in your life?  Each seed you have dropped has grown to be a part of your life throughout the years. So what is growing up around you? What type of surface are you walking on? Is it soft and grassy with comfort to your feet or brambles and thorns sticking into them?

WRONG.  The best is right now. You do not have to look ahead for it, it is here surrounding you.  Look at how much thought, time and effort you give to your relationships, your work, your finances...and if you have it leftover, time spent spiritually with God.

I start my day with Him; I walk with Him; I talk to Him constantly throughout the day; I rest in Him; I believe in Him.  From Him I have LIFE, LOVE, LIGHT and BEING. Terry...

She assured me it was wonderful exercise and I would stay younger.  Walking by faith, we bought the house, not because of the stairs, but the location across the street from our daughter and her family.  Today, two years later, we stand in faith that we made the right d
