Wishing Living By the English Lakes

Over many years of great holidays to the English lakes we would go never a year passed always be there such beauty around, inspired pen to flow Many a time we would think wishing of moving to English lake district so good this would be a dream miles too far the cost far too high, oh if we only could! Dreamt often when on lakeside walk stopped at cottage on the lake so awesome this would be heaven indeed to live there especially when the flowers would blossom We would sometimes rent a cottage just for week to feel what it be like live in a cottage so lovely and bright beautiful thoughts filled every sight But reality came home to roost it's not to be for us anyway so the good Lord knows our needs that's sufficient for here we stay (Just thinking back to Christine and my unfulfilled dreams of living in the English lake district but it was not to be so content ourselves in God's goodness to us where we are now. )

We should always be happy with what we have and i know sometimes its hard because we can see ourselves living somewhere else very happily but as God knows our needs, and that we are happy that is all we need to know. Blessings, and hugs Jennifer.

G’day Gordon … I can relate to your feelings Gordon. Lake; natural bush; natures’s calls; and of course the peace and solitude. No wonder you dreamt of living there - thank you Gordon - Lindsay
