Thank you for sharing. I realized some time ago that I am an expression of God. (I have no religion connected to the words I choose to use, they are only a reference point.) Wow! I thought that is heavy, I am an expression of God! Then I realized everyone , every creature, every thing is as well. What respect this commands from me. What honor I must have for my body, my temple. My husband and I are working towards homesteading because we know that living in accordance with nature is the right way. Its the way my papaw and granny were raised. Or at least more so than most today. What a beautiful post. Thank you and have a lovely night. -Lindsey
