(Sent to us from a parishoner)
A pastor attended a men’s breakfast in the middle of a rural farming area of the country. The group had asked an older farmer, decked out in bib overalls, to say grace for the morning breakfast:
“Lord, I hate buttermilk,” the farmer began. The visiting pastor opened one eye to glance at the farmer and wondered where this was going.
The farmer loudly proclaimed, “Lord, I hate lard.” Now the pastor was growing concerned.
Without missing a beat, the farmer continued, “And Lord, you know I don’t much care for raw white flour.”
The pastor once again opened an eye to glance around the room and saw that he wasn’t the only one to feel uncomfortable.
Then the farmer added, “But Lord, when you mix them all together and bake them, I do love warm fresh biscuits.
So, Lord, when things come up that we don’t like, when life gets hard, when we don’t understand what You’re saying to us, help us to just relax and wait until You are done mixing. It will probably be even better than biscuits ed-danmark.com. Amen.”
Within that prayer there is great wisdom for all when it comes to the complicated situations like we are experiencing in the world today.
Stay strong my friends, because our life is being mixed with lots of things that we don’t care for . . . relax and wait until the mixing is done!
We are pretty sure we have all had a moment or two during this past year where we thought why is this happening, when will it end, how will we survive . . . Continue to be faithful and patient during these troubling times, God has a plan, and all will be well when the time is right. Sending good thoughts and many blessings to you all on this Thursday morning!
