A heifer just calved. A nice little bull with lots of vigor was soon up and looking for a handle. Well, as is so often the case, the heifer wouldn't stand still. She just kept circling around and around. The little booger couldn't get to the business end to save his soul. This went on for 20 minutes, but finally persistence paid off, and the calf got his breakfast. The Lord tells us to be persistent in our praying. I do not think for a minute, that God just finally gets tired of us asking for something and just gives it to us to shut us up. Rather I think that he wants to teach us persistence, and increase our gratitude when the praying is finally rewarded. I can look around the sanctuary of our little country church and see many people that were on the prayer list a few yeas ago, and on there for a few years too. Do not tire in praying for the lost in your community, persistence pays, ya know. Ask that little white bull calf in the corral! Have your self a good Sunday mornin', and a great rest of the week too.
Just got back from town. My MIL called about 5:30 and said she had fallen outside, and her wrist was bothering. Took her in, and sure enough it was broken, so she will be laid up a few weeks. Jan is having surgery again on Tues, this time to fuse her big toe joint as Arthur has pretty well ruined it. I'm still perkin just fine, but after nursing two women and my cows, I may be out of it too!! A little prayer support from our friends would be appreciated. :wink: :wink:

Hope you heal fast.
Hope all goes well with the surgery, the wrist and the calf. And i hope John's toe heals fine too! I have a good friend who really struggles with mental issues. He had real bad depression and obsessive compulsive disorder which has caused him to withdrawl from church and town and even disable him from his job. I was asked to lead some of the men at church and I felt a really strong feeling that Ryan needed to assist me. But i knew he wasn't able to come out to church or activities. So i looked at everyone else available but kept coming back to Ryan. Finally i went to visit with him. He said he'd pray on it and asked me to do the same but to not expect him to be able to do it. When he called a few days later to say he would do his best at the task, well, we both shed some tears!
