Have you ever wondered what direction you need to be going in life? Does it ever seem that as soon as you start going in one direction. You feel you need to go another? Let me ask you this. Are the directions that you are taking, your directions or God’s? For the most part we make some decisions just based on materialistic things. Some say it must be God because I’m gonna get paid more! God isn’t into money. We are. We have to realize just because it looks good it doesn’t mean it is. We need to spend more time praying. Instead of more time thinking on what we need to be doing. It’s amazing on how much more clarity you will have when you spend time praying and reading God’s word. Don’t let your life be like this sign. Ask God what direction you need to go. Then when he tells you. Write it down, and go after that goal. Don’t let things distract you from that goal. Even though it might look really good. Make sure it’s what God wants you to do and not what you are wanting to do. God knows your whole future. Not just day to day. God wants to be in full control so just let him. When you let Him be in control you’ll find your life that seems to be going in every direction. Start going in one direction. That direction will be leading right to Him.
Well this evening the arms are pretty sore. Spent a wonderful day helping out one of the family friends on his farm. My job was to open the gates to let cows in to get there shots and well…. I guess you could say lose there bull hood. Must have lifted those gates close to a hundred times. Arms and hands aren’t used to that. Had a wonderful time though. We had great time fellowshiping with each other. Even was able to witness a small calf that thought it was a deer. Shot out of the shoot like it had it’s backside on fire. Broke through the cattle gate like it was a toothpick. It was funny and amazing at the same time. Makes a person wonder how they did this 100 years ago. Without the shoots and cages. Must have been a tough job to boot. Something amazing in doing farm work though. It’s peaceful in a strange way. Not sure why, but sure makes a person more relaxed. Maybe that’s why farmers live longer than most. I must put a big shout out to Farmer Tom for asking me come again. I know that you don’t have to.
I’ve never been around farm work until I met Tom. So when he asks me to help. He’s asking a person that doesn’t have a clue at all on how to do things. I am learning though. I guess it’s a pay back in a way. I taught him some church stuff. So in return he’s taught me farming stuff. I would have never gotten the chickens or goats before. If wasn’t from Tom helping me out. Sure can’t wait to get back to that. Well maybe not the goats part. To stubborn of an animal.
The thing is. That most people complain about there jobs. Which is 5 days a week. Around 40 hours a week. With most jobs being inside with A.C. and heat. Farmers don’t have that luxury. They work 24hrs a day. 7 days a week. They work in the rain, heat, cold, wind, and dust. They don’t have a desk and comfortable chair. They have an old truck or tractor. You have people to talk to about your problems. They have cattle or there crops. Now isn’t it unfair for us to complain about our jobs. When they aren’t tough jobs at all. If you need your eyes opened up on how easy your jobs are. Go work on a farm for a day or week. I bet you’ll enjoy your job even more. Farmers sure don’t get the congratulations that they deserve. Here we eat the food that they work so hard to produce, and we don’t even think about them at all. I for one. Thank all farmers for what you endure. Thanks for not giving up during the bad times. My hat comes off to you.!!!!! Thank you God for making special people to do the jobs they do. It sure takes a special person to be able to do farm work. Here’s picture for you Tom.
