| Family on the Farm by John Newton Howitt |
She awakes from a dream and her bedroom comes into focus. She smiles because her home is a haven to her too. She doesn't wish for things she does not have, she is happy with what she does.
She takes care of the little trinkets, polishes the old furniture until it shines and mops the cracked tile floors until they sparkle. She hums as she cleans the bedrooms, prepares the simple meals and hangs out the laundry. She is satisfied with her portion which makes her a pleasant woman, wife and mother.
How happy the children are… For they know she always has plenty… plenty of love to share. She always has something tasty in the oven… tasty is what talks to those little souls. The children are learning much from dear mother.

How pleased she makes her husband... Any opportunity he can, he tries to bless her knowing how much she appreciates his humble efforts. He is a hard worker and he provides his best but times are tough...
She loves her family.
She loves her God.
She shows her love in her simple life of contentment.
