Tribute To Our Farmers

I know, I know, it's been a very long time since my last post. So many people has told me that I needed to update my post.... So here goes... Things have just been so hectic for a while. The farming year wasn't a good year, not just for my guys, but nationwide. Please keep these farmers in your prayers. Some people may not think of "farming" as a real job. Yes, once the crops are out, equipment washed, oiled and put up for the next year, the guys have about three months off; but what people don't realize is that farming is not an 8-5/5 days a week job. There are many, many nights that I take Jimmy's dinner to the field or he not come home until on in the night. And they always work on Saturdays. Their job just don't end at 5 p.m. If it's not for our farmers we would not have food to eat or clothes to wear. So many kids nowdays think food comes from the grocery store, they have no clue how food gets to the grocery store. I guess it magically appears. It's very sad. It takes great faith to be a farmer. Once that seed is planted in the ground, the rest is up to God. It's very scary at times but it can also be a great learning experience. My faith has tripled since I married Jimmy and live life as a farmer's wife. But I wouldn't trade it for anything! So the next time you go to the grocery store and buy your food, think of these farmers and say a little prayer for them.
