"Homesteading is making choices about how you live your life. It is deciding that you would rather have your family and a peaceful existence than a new car. It is about having something to call your own. It's about knowing that money is not the most important thing in the world. It's about caring for plants and animals and knowing that their existence is intertwined with your own. It's about realizing that God created us with a plan and a purpose in mind. It's about having time to stop and smell the roses even when your particular "rose" is a sunflower." --- Robin
