April Gone May Upon Us!

Good morning farm followers! Today is the last day of April wow! It is hard to believe that almost half of 2020 is already gone. So much has happened over the last 6 weeks, but God never changes and that is what stabilizes everything! We have come through this great trial much better than at least I deserve. I trust the Lord will complete what He has allowed to shape and mold His people to conform more and more to the image of His most dearly precious son. I pray earnestly for our country. I pray fervently for our President and his family. But most of all I pray that God’s glory shines brightly in us all. Death comes to us all, the timing of it is purely in the Providence of almighty God. So rather live focusing on the blessing that we all enjoy so that when death finally does arrive we will know we have lived a life of sacrifice and blessing on this Earth.

Covid-19 is a virus. However it gained the properties it has by either man’s engineering or pure mutation is a mute point at this time. What is most exciting to me at least is that we can do something ourselves about it. God created each of us with a magnificent immune system. Viruses have been attacking man for millennia and we survive without even being aware that this is happening. That being said we are a truly unhealthy group of people. We have relied on man to medicate and vaccinate us so we do not have to be responsible for the failing health many of us are plagued with. Big Ag, the Pharmaceutical industry, Conventional medicine and Fast Food have failed us simply because money is the goal not health. I reminded a family member when we were discussing the many diseases she was afflicted with that health is defined by the absence of disease not the management of it. Truly we are a deceived people. Being a nurse for over 30 years I have seen first hand the ignorance of conventional medicine trying to medicate first without any understanding of nutritional condition of the afflicted. God has given His people the ability to self heal. Medicines can be a tremendous blessing but our immune system is our first line of defense. He has provided medicine in abundance even amongst the thorns and snares. How we eat, the water we drink, the exercise we get each day and the quality and quantity of sleep matters! If we continue to ignore these things then we will continue to be plagued by these overwhelming situations and live a life full of FEAR rather than blessing. Rather than sitting in front of a TV blasting out hate, gloom and doom get outside in nature. Enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Sit by a window and enjoy the rain! These things will do far more for you mentally and physically than you will ever know.

I recently watched a movie with my family after evening chores. Overall I did not like the movie but nevertheless one statement in that movie really impacted my thinking. One of the leading actors made a statement to a family member he was estranged from as they were having a conversation. The old man who played the grumpy old grandfather inquired of the young man about his life and the young man replied, ”I am a lawyer” to which the other actor replied, ”do not define yourself by what you do” the young man was startled at the comment and he sat there pondering the depth of it. He had allowed his occupation to define who he was. He was proud that he was a lawyer but rather than ponder the depth of the question of “how he was” he summed his entire life up by what he did. How guilty am I? To allow ourselves to be defined by what we do as an occupation is ridiculous. We are MORE than that. Yes many occupations are noble but not everyone working in those fields ARE! So to lump yourself together with others is not wise! Set a standard and live by it. Make the occupation you are in a true honorable calling not just a lumped together group of sheeple. Be a blessing to your generation and the generations to come.

Thank you for reading my little blog post. We are busy with our gardens and trusting that the harvest will be abundant as we sow into many lives this Summer. May God be glorified!
