Working
With God |
| |
A farmer purchases
an old, run-down, abandoned farm with plans to turn it into a
thriving enterprise. The fields are grown over with weeds, the
farmhouse is falling apart, and the fences are collapsing all
around.
During his first day of work, the town preacher stops by to bless
the man's work, saying, "May you and God work together to make this
the farm of your dreams!" A few months later, the preacher stops by
again to call on the farmer. Lo and behold, it's like a completely
different place - the farm house is completely rebuilt and in
excellent condition, there are plenty of cattle and other livestock
happily munching on feed in well-fenced pens, and the fields are
filled with crops planted in neat rows. "Amazing!" the preacher
says. "Look what God and you have accomplished together!"
"Yes, Reverend," says the farmer, "but remember what the farm was
like when God was working it alone!" |
