The Feathered Nest Home

I woke up this morning here at our cabin Pike Co. Il just feeling so happy. I love it here. In the mornings all you here are the birds and the turkeys gobbling this time of year. The no traffic noise, no neighbors no anything. Occasionally you can hear a train way off in the distanc. It is just so peaceful,it soothes my soul. I took an early walk and found quite a few fresh mushrooms and could only wish I could have the whole week here. Just imagine how many mushrooms I could find! As Larry and I drove the 25 minutes to town all we could do was praise God for all the beauty that we were seeing and enjoying. All the different shades of green, the dogwoods in full bloom, the smell of honeysuckle in the air it was glorious. We reworked and restocked my booth at Country Fixins and went out for lunch. We had some other stops to make but both of us couldn't wait to get back to the cabin. We started a fire and did a little more shroom in but we mainly just chilled and soaked up the beauty around us. I feel so at peace here and So thankful for this place. I thank God everyday that he brought Larry to me. Someone that enjoys and appreciates the same things as I do. I have been doing a lot of thinking about this Easter weekend and the true meaning of Easter. Just the thought of Jesus dying on that cross and taking on all our sins, just overwhelms me. As a parent I can't even begin to comprehend how God must have felt, knowing what was to happen to his son. Until I became a Christian and started having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Easter was about egg hunts, the Easter bunny and a good meal. But now, I understand the true meaning of Easter and the significance of it all. And for that I am so thankful. As the day is ending and as I sit here in this beautiful place I know in my heart I am truly blessed in so many ways. I encourage you all to think about why we have Easter. I hope you all have a blessed weekend. I will be spending the day with my loved ones and yes we will have an egg hunt and a great meal but now I know the true meaning of Easter Sunday. We'll talk again soon! Tina
