Our busy schedules sometimes crowds out the beautiful things that God has for us.  Living at "Hickory Ridge" has taught me to slow down, and look closely at the beauty that surrounds us.  The colorful flowers that show up one day that were not there the day before.  The birds that swoop in by the hundreds, to feed on worms after a drenching rain. The rainbow that offers a promise from God.  The warm sun on a spring day!  I can never thank God enough for blessing me and my family with the land at Hickory.  The pictures in the video below are not of Hickory, but the first picture reminds me of our tree lined entry.  The majestic pictures of green hills and swooping eagles could easily have been taken from my back porch.  I hope you enjoy!  Remember to slow down and Thank God! http://www.tangle.com/view_video.php?viewkey=0daa379ae8a966e8a43c
