Ever Think About…

In the beginning the years moved slowly.  Seasons would change from spring to summer then to fall and the harvest and finally to winter for a much deserved rest.  We never thought much farther ahead than the next growing season.  As we got older those seasons sped up and turned to years.  Our families grew like the crops.  Those years turned into decades and time seemed to move even faster.  Our children started there own farms and families.  We no longer looked forward to what was growing in our fields, we looked forward to what was growing in our hearts.  Our growth had changed, what had provided for us, the fields, the crops and the machinery were still there.  Those things would always be there for us.  What those things provided for us was the foundations for our families and the ones we love.  Slowly, as the decades added up to become a lifetime we started to take pride in those years.  We told stories and shared our experiences with the little ones.  Maybe the time will slow down for us in the end, maybe not, but those foundations will still be there for those who come after us.
