We all need to share our lives with others. We must believe that each of our experiences and discoveries passed down to the next generation continues the uniqueness of different families that make up our entire shared existence as a whole. My own generational history accomplished much, and passed down its own contribution to Mother Earth. It was fascinating to say the least! This historical journey of my own family filled my heart and mind with gratitude as well as a sense of belonging and security.
It wasn’t just a list of names, but a book filled with stories of where the families came from, where they settled and what they did in life. A while back, my husband and I were given a book that displayed our family ancestry back to the early 1800’s. Your individual life is a unique journey and your family has a unique place in history. All that drama makes up who you are-the crazy mixture of both positive and negative, good and bad. Stop and ponder your own family story right now. I cannot tell you the wealth of homesteading, gardening, and animal care instruction I have learned from this woman telling me the tales of her own life learnings. I found out quickly that our property joined hers and I am deeply grateful it did! I ran into Mary walking one day not long after we moved in and our friendship began with her story. When we decided to join the homestead family, we purchased in a simple, quiet farming town. Her family has owned and lived off the land for generations here in our small farming community. And because knowledge is power, our stories must be told.Ĭonsider the value of just one person passing down their knowledge and experiences to future generations. Our stories can teach a multitude of very necessary life truths, simply because much knowledge and wisdom is gained from every life experience. Our stories teach others of lessons learned, possibly keeping them from making the same mistakes. Our stories can definitely pass on knowledge and education. Your story-my story-contains inspiration, encouragement, and instruction for someone that needs to know. And now-through technology-it is impacting the world at large. I have also seen the sharing quite necessary for loving and learning as I counsel others. It matters to my family, my friends, and my colleagues.
I thought my own story was quite unimpressive and probably did not matter much to anyone but myself but I have realized it matters a great deal. Even though some may say that there is nothing new under the sun each of us has a unique garden of life experiences that make up a compelling and inspiring picture. The incredible worth that each of us possess in our own small existence within a huge universe.
