“Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked AAANNNDDD walked” - You gotta love Primary songs!
Being that it’s Pioneer Day tomorrow, I thought I would write a blog to celebrate this day! Take a moment and think back to the when they were traveling across the country. Imagine the drudgery of walking hundreds of miles, suffocating dust, violent thunderstorms, mud, temperature extremes, bad water, poor forage, sickness, and death.Just thinking about those things somewhat makes me feel overwhelmed and makes me wonder if I would give up. Just thinking about the odds that were against them, I am amazed at their willingness to continue and press forward. Strong willed individuals to say the least!
I think sometimes we overlook how easy our lives our. I think we forget the sacrifice that individuals gave to enable a better life for us! I am grateful for the men, women & children (even the oxen) that made this journey!
I’ve tried imagining life as a pioneer............ and this is what I would imagine.
