This is lovely. I can almost taste those sweet, juicy Georgia peaches and smell the Vidalia fields ready for harvest. This poem reminds me of all the reasons I miss Georgia…God, give me a heart for where I am because I’ve got Georgia on my mind.

Ahhh Cassie, I can totally relate to the feeling of wanting to be somewhere else and missing home. Your prayer is the right one: Lord teach us contentment and help us to taste Your sweetness wherever it is You have us!! <3

Thank you for sharing your heart.
