Little House on the Prairie!

I've been recording lots of things I knew Luke wouldn't like to watch....one being Little House on the Prairie! I had forgotten how much I loved this show....and of course, it doesn't hurt that I'm actually named after Melissa Gilbert who played Laura! It dawned on me just now that I wish we had more of a Little House on the Prairie lifestyle in today's world. Now I don't mean no air conditioner or running water....we are fine with that. It's their lifestyle and way of thinking that I simply adore! This one episode was talking of divorce, and Laura made the comment that she wished they didn't know any couple who were divorced....speaking of the only 1 couple in the town! It was amazing to me!

Also, I love their way of living. The wife stays home and does chores and keeps the house going while the husband is out working. They love and respect one another and have a very simple perspective on life. It also thrilled me in a small way to realize that I'm like Carolyn....I stay at home and keep the house in order so that my own "Charles" can go out and do his job providing for our family. I think if we slowed down enough in today's world to realize that family and living right is the ONLY thing that mattered....we would be a much happier society.

Thank God for little lessons on the Prairie!
