#farmlife #farming #farmchurch For yet ANOTHER Sunday Message The title has to be: "When It Rains, It Pours..." BECAUSE: the rain keeps a comin'! The sheep need BOOTS at this point! And the point is, whatever the weather dishes out, we need to find a way to adapt to it cuz we don't control it. So the lesson (one we get repeatedly through our lives) is to learn to change the things we CAN change and ACCEPT the stuff we CAN'T.
"Find your edges and lean in to them, even if you fall down..." (From "Rain")
We've all heard it before:
"Change the things you can and accept the things you can't. Change the things you can and accept the things you can't. Change the things you can and accept the things you can't. Change the things you can and accept the things you can't."
and it sounds nice until day after day after day AFTER DAY... It freakin' RAINS! And you want to shake your fists at the heavens... Until you remember... OH! Nothing I do is gonna have any effect on this other than figuring out what I CAN do... and then the lesson starts to really sink in. What CAN I change? What OPTIONS are open? Let's take some positive ACTION in SOME DIRECTION. And see if that improves things...
"Let go of what you can't control, even if it feels strange..." (From "Rain")
ahhhh. and remember to take a deep breath. This Too Shall Pass... just remember to take your umbrella...
Peace. Love. Groovyness! Amen.
