Good Wednesday Morning Everyone:

Looks like spring is here now. The wild flowers in the Smokies and alon

the trails and byways of the south are beautiful and in full bloom for

the most part. A great time to be alive and thankful. Read the story today

and think about it all the way through. It was shared by a high school

classmate from many years ago.

Trusting God

A while back a friend shared a story of a visiting pastor who 

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.   

"God, I hate buttermilk", the farmer began. The visiting pastor 

opened one eye to glance at the farmer and wonder where this 

was going.   

The farmer loudly proclaimed, "God, I hate lard." Now the pastor 

was growing concerned.   

Without missing a beat, the farmer continued, "And God, 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 God, when you mix them all together 

and bake them, I do love warm fresh biscuits. So God, 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. Amen.”   

Within that prayer there is great wisdom for all when it comes 

to complicated situations like we are experiencing in the world today.  

Stay strong, my friends, because God is mixing several things that

we don't really care for, but something even better is going to come!

~Thanks Butch for sharing!!~

May God Bless You and your loved ones!

Much love.

Larry
