Mixing It Up

  • September 7, 2020

A WHILE BACK MY DEAR FRIEND, ROSE, SENT OUT A SIMPLE STORY ABOUT HOW TO TRUST GOD .

RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT GOOD CAN COME OUT OF THESE SCARY TIMES OF ILLNESS, ECONOMIC LOSS, SEPARATION FROM THOSE WE LOVE, AND EVEN DEATH. BUT IF YOU HAVE FAITH IT IS EASIER TO SEE FROM HISTORY THAT THERE INDEED MIGHT BE SOME GOODNESS THAT COMES OUT OF ALL OF THIS WORLD WIDE PANDEMIC.

HERE IS THE LITTLE STORY :

A while back I read a story of a visiting pastor who attended a men’s breakfast in the middle of a rural farming area of the country.  The group had asked an older farmer, decked out in bib overalls, to say grace for the morning breakfast.

“Lord, I hate buttermilk,” the farmer began.  The visiting pastor opened one eye to glance at the farmer and wonder where this was going.The farmer loudly proclaimed, “Lord, I hate lard.” 

Now the pastor was growing concerned.Without missing a beat, the farmer continued, “And Lord, you know I don’t much care for raw white flour.”  The pastor once again opened an eye to glance around the room and saw that he wasn’t the only one to feel uncomfortable.

Then the farmer added, “But Lord, when you mix them all together and bake them, I do love warm fresh biscuits.  So Lord, when things come up that we don’t like, when life gets hard, when we don’t understand what you’re saying to us, help us to just relax and wait until you are done mixing.  It will probably be even better than biscuits.  Amen.”

Within that prayer there is great wisdom for all when it comes to complicated situations like we are experiencing in the world today.Stay strong, my friends, because our LORD is mixing several things that we don’t really care for, but something even better is going to come when HE is done with it.  AMEN!
