Plenty to be thankful for, even in the midst of some aggravating circumstances.
I delivered 4 really beautiful healthy hogs, to be prepared for customers, this morning. Thankful for the pigs, for the customers and their trust in our program, thankful for the rain and the grass and yes I'm even thankful for the mud! Some days, like today, that can be hard to say.
But to put it in perspective, 14 days ago the temperature was climbing and with big sows and top hogs that can spell disaster! Mud dont make for the prettiest of pictures, but it is salvation for a hog on those brutally hot days.
I'm thankful for the wind that refreshes us and blows in the new seasons. Thankful for sun that warms our faces and waters my brow. Thankful for close friends and strangers alike. I can't actually raise the value of one above the other since I have had deep meaningful life-giving conversations, blessings, gifts and wisdom delivered by both.
I'm very thankful for my family. A brother and sister who are both brave enough to run at life full blast with smiles and laughter and worship in their hearts. A momma and a daddy with real love for people and, a love for music. They are serious enough about life that they can smell flowers, drink coffee, and do the things they love without being boxed in by new ways and fads and changing times! It keeps my parents young and strong in their resistance towards these brand new days with so-called progress, advancement and internet dependence!
Two brothers in law who are kind and bold and giving! And 2 sisters in law strong and straight they calculate and do some heavy lifting through matters they be sifting help when the times be shifting my wife she do be thrifting
