These are pictures of a cattle farm I pass on the way to work.
I have always loved the view, most especially of the trees as they contrast against the wooded area in the background.
For me, it looks like a movie panorama as I drive by.
I have tried to get my kids to appreciate this view, but as children, they can't see what I see.
It is not appealing to them.
I find that often happens in my life.
I know that God is wanting me to see the beautiful, overall picture.
And, sometimes all I see is the stinky cows.
The stinky cows of disappointment, failure, worry.
The stinky cows of tiredness, hardships, life.
Diverting my ability to really enjoy the picture - my blessed life - before my eyes.
But, as my children mature, they will understand and appreciate this scene.
And, as I drive by this pasture, I will remember to appreciate more than this view.
Take time to enjoy your view!

That is a beautiful pastoral setting and great observations. Your thoughts are similar to mine as I pass a pasture on 231 just south of Wetumpka with a single large tree in the middle. Thanks for sharing the pics and thoughts.
Lovely, Kristi. I am the daughter of a Mississippi Farmer, and such views speak to me as well. I am definitely the one who needs to be reminded because I will admit I have been seeing a lot of stinky cows lately due to our move from NC to GA. I need to enjoy the view of my life's blessings! Thanks for the push.
Kristi that is gorgeous and so relaxing!!! Thanks for the pictures and nice thoughts!!
