GOD first...Heavenly Father, we make excuses for our laziness when we fail to see someone in need for just a little kindness or maybe a little help. We tend to walk away, avoid contact, or not take the time to listen. Lord, if You did that to us, we would never be in Your grace and never listen to the prayers we offer. Thankfully, Your Amazing Grace is always there for us. Whenever we ask, our prayers are in the hands of our loving Jesus Christ as we pray in His name. Amen. Pray for those who are in ill, suffering, grieving, or are in harms’ way.
Joke Time: An old couple was in a nursing home facing each other. The old man in a wheelchair and she was leaning on a walker. The old man confesses, “I was unfaithful to you once with some redhead in the men’s room of a pool hall in 1951. I was drunk!” The old woman responded, “That was me. You old coot!”
Here, we are almost at the end of January and by next month, farmers around here are already getting ready to plant corn. The fields are ready for planting and by some, we still don’t have the moisture. Usually, by George Washington’ Birthday, some had already planted. The low temps we have already had, may cause farmers to plant a little deeper and pack the dirt over the seed and wait for rain. Last year, by the first of March, you could see corn poking out of the soil enough to make out where the rows are of growing corn. There are so many factors to consider when farming. Either you are a good farmer and know what you are doing, or you are a damned fool. Heard that a lot. It’s a big crap shoot and if you aren’t prepared, you lose. One farmer, last year, harvested his wheat, planted cotton in the wheat stubbles as soon as he could and still made a good cotton crop too. That’s how hard work and smarts makes or breaks a farmer and a lot of luck doesn’t hurt either.
