Well, we only drove seven hours today. It was a beautiful drive, even though we were both weary from our long trip yesterday. Sometimes I forget how agricultural our country still is. There is a beauty to farmland in autumn. There is a sense of completion and quiet.
I witnessed gold, orange and auburn trees bending tenderly over lakes and rivers. I watched tractors harvesting precious grain from dry, brown stalks. I saw barns and farm houses, standing as places of warmth and security against the coming winter.
This is truly a beautiful country. I am sad to be leaving in less that 2 weeks. The rhythm of seasons comforts me. There is a purity and pride in our agricultural heritage. Our Christian foundation blesses us, even today.
