After being asked twice in two days,
“How’s the farming going?”
I realized I needed a better response than,
“Not so good.”
Because though that is true,
That things around the farm are slow
And often discouraging,
My life, as a whole, is good.
The second time, when asked,
I had the right response:
“Although the farming itself is not always what I hoped,
I have no complaints.”
I think that captures both the
Disappointment inherent in our life on the farm,
And the overall sense that we are where we’re supposed to be,
And the satisfaction that comes of following Jesus.
