Your homily reminded me of this story.<br /><br />A farmer was walking in the country with his young son. They happened upon an old abandoned barn. They opened the door and found manure piled halfway to the rafters. The farmer grabbed a shovel and gave one to his son. "Start shoveling, Son" he said. "There has to be a pony in here somewhere!"<br /><br />In the midst of all our trials, there has to be a blessing but sometimes we just have to dig to find it.Linda Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318245630918980101.post-59015292708378792392010-02-22T09:57:38.931-05:002010-02-22T09:57:38.931-05:00[A comment sent in via email from Jim Shock, a pas...[A comment sent in via email from Jim Shock, a pastor in the Charlotte area]- BL<br /><br />Billy: another great one. I especially liked, Therefore, we should not play games and pretend, but neither should we be afraid and shrink back because of the realities. If the “snakes” are there, the “fish” are there. We should be of good courage and bravely go forward expecting to be more than conquorers through Christ Jesus.<br />Thanks,<br />JimBilly Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739420756402743057noreply@blogger.com
