So today, when I am here at the farm alone & can collect my thoughts to form those introspective leanings, I have certainly come up with a few doozies!
First, I am convicted of the notion that we have the most conniving, most manipulative animals EVER that live with us. I am sure that they could convince any unsuspecting passerby that they are starved, abused and confined to way small of a field. Bryan and I seem to spend most of our time these days patching up holes in the fence that we didn't realize existed, until Brownie-cow decides to make them prominent. This is not funny. Not at all funny.
This is Brownie, a.k.a. Houdini. She has a pretty sketchy lineage... This could be the source of the problem (hmmm)
Second, I am convicted that my horse is either way smarter than I gave him credit for since he chooses not to follow the cows lead or the dumbest animal in the pasture for not crossing the downed fence. I choose to believe that he is smart enough to know how mad at him I would be if he thought about it... I choose not to comment on his natural blond hair being a (possible) factor in this.
Lastly, I have a conviction that I am one of the luckiest people alive! Why you ask? Because I live in the greatest country in the world. Because I have the freedom to own land and animals and grow my own food the way that I see fit. Because I know God loves me and will guide me to be the best person that I can be and to serve Him humbly and gratefully. Because I have the most wonderful husband whom I love more with each passing day.
Thank you to all of my friends and neighbors for being you and for being free. Thank you to our government representatives. I pray for you all each day to make the decisions best for our state and our country.
I hope each of you can find a conviction close to your heart and tell the world about it!
Blessings for another day,
Amanda
