Dirt Road Prayer

This morning I was listening to a song titled “Dirt Road Prayer”

as I was driving home on back roads after dropping my daughter off at preschool

(she goes to an old country school)

and I had to stop for a cattle drive.

I love reasons to slow down!!!!!

We are always in such a hurry to get from place to place and to be on time!

It was nice this morning to be forced to slow down/stop and enjoy the moment.

As I sat there I thought about….

I love the fact that my daughter gets to experience the country school atmosphere.

(It actually part of our public school system but I love that they are utilizing the building and land)

Country schools are a thing of the past (in MOST areas).

They offered such a personalized intimate learning experience that I feel she is getting. 

And she has amazing teachers!!!

I also love cattle drives.

As a kid I loved to move cattle on weekends. 

I would look forward to it all week. 

I loved to saddle up my horse and ride slowly for miles and miles with the cows. 

It was so peaceful and enjoyable.

You had such a sense of accomplishment when done.

And then the day was always finished off with good food and great company.

I love dirt roads!!! 

When I was in college I would go for a drive and hit dirt roads

just to relax and gather my thoughts.

There is just something about them.

I am so lucky that my home is now down a dusty dirt road. 

And the song I was listening to was PERFECT!

Sometimes god really gives us the perfect moments in life to reflect and appreciate

the many gifts he has given us.

As I sat there on the dirt road,

watching the cattle walk by slowly I prayed and thanked him for this amazing life!

I want to share the song with you!

Have an amazing week!!!!

Love,
