Here is an old one that seems to fit me pretty well. I better read it again............and again!
I had a little heifer calf shut in the barn, and did she ever make a racket! She was a twin born a month ago to a cow that is lame, and will need help to raise one. Well after a month of great luck, I lost a 5 week old heifer calf to Entero Toxemia. The twin is really stressed because I took her away from her mother for 24 hours. She hardly got enough milk, and I took even that away! Little did she know what a fine udder her new mother has, and it is all her own. This twin will never understand that I have helped her. She just hangs onto her new mom as though afraid I'll take her away again. Sometimes in life, our situations seem very dire; Our "bad luck" gets even worse, and we are stressed beyond measure. It is good to remember that our Shepherd has promised that all situations will work out for the best if we'll just trust Him. He has given us the ability to reason, and appreciate what he does for us; we need to do that. Have yourselves a good Sunday mornin' and a great rest of the week too.
