Matthew 11:28-30: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
On a farm, rest is a rather inconvenient discipline. There is forever something requiring one’s attention, and very little of it respects the Sabbath.
Yet rest we shall. Today we lay down the work, turn our attention to the Lord, and give thanks to Him who blessed us with this land and the privilege of tending it. The work will remain faithfully where we left it, and by His strength, we shall meet it again tomorrow.
