 If we really look at the history and theology of how God wanted us to live, there are things he teaches us and wants to teach us that we learn from the land and there is no other source. The life of homesteading, the life from the land works on a completely different logic. The rhythm of life is more sustainable. The natural state of the home and the family unit is to not just be together but to do something together. Overwhelmingly in history, the family has done much better when it does something together. Although homesteading is very practical, the real reason that most people want to do it is actually inspired by their faith. This work is going to bring me closer to my family, the land I live on and therefore in the ultimate end is God. God himself is the reason I'm homesteading. It's a great way of life where you're creating your own music, you're reading good literature, you're going to a good mass, you're eating good food and you have good neighbors. That's not what we all want.
