Summer time on the farm is a great time to learn some of life's greatest lesson. This past week my family spent a few days on the farm bucking bales. Unfortunately, I couldn't get away form work, but the pictures of all the fun got me thinking about life lessons on the farm. Here's just a few - 1) Work is fun. I'm amazed how much fun my kids can have in 90+ degree weather loading up hay bales on the farm. Too often we view work as a problem rather than a pleasure. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that work is a gift from God; it's an opportunity to produce something of value. 2) Working together as a team increases productivity and mutual respect. Video games do not produce mutual respect. When my kids play video games for a day they end up fighting, complaining, and upset with each other (not always but often). Working on the farm together produces a cooperative spirit and a desire to help each other reach a goal.
Have a great week. Pastor Tom
