Simple Obsession

Sometimes I feel as though I was born in the wrong century. I am obsessed with life in the 1800's. I can't get enough "Little House on The Prairie". I admire those who traveled west in search of their dreams. Willing to put their life on the line to give their families a new beginning. I long to be part of a time when ladies were still ladies and would blush at the touch of a gentlemens' hand. When women not only enjoyed cooking and cleaning for their families but prided themselves on doing so and were not looked down upon for it. If a woman told you today that she was fulfilled with no other occupation except for motherhood she would be called uneducated and would be pitied. I take pride in the fact that my main job is to care for my family. Now don't get me wrong and say that I am against women working. I am not. God gave different women different gifts. Don't pity anyone woman who is walking the path that God laid out for her. From executives to stay at home mom's we are all important to our creator. While I still long for a simpler time I can take comfort in the fact that one day I will be in the arms of my Jesus. Where the only endings are happy ones.
