Ever yearn for greener pastures, for things you don’t have, for something different? We all do sometimes if we’re honest with ourselves. But in reality, the something different isn’t always what we imagine it to be. Many different song lyrics come into my mind right now…”What you don’t have, you don’t need it now…” “But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need….” and so on. (Disclaimer: For those of you who know me, don’t worry…I haven’t been thinking about running away. 🙂 )
Being content and grateful for what’s right around us; a great gift from God. Here is my very favorite Cara Dillon trad cover of “Spencer the Rover” which illustrates the story of a man who went through hard times, left home, but then dreamed of his family and friends. He missed them greatly, and returned realizing that they were what he needed all along. “Contented he’ll remain, and not ramble away.” Enjoy her wonderful vocals, and her husband Sam Lakeman’s amazing piano playing. Blessings, Lisa
