Amen........

My Thought for this Day....There were no black-eyed peas, nor cabbage, nor greens of any kind on the Farm yesterday. We aren't going to rely and hope for Veggie Luck. Instead, we will walk through 2018 with self endurance, empathy, courage, and faith. We will stomp out the fires with our feet of clay and turn our eyes to the hills from whence comes our help. We will grow in grace. We will be humble so we don't have to be humbled. We will be ever aware of our fortune, not our luck. And we will stand on the promises, and in the gap with confidence to take on this new year with renewed and lasting hope. And we will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are, no matter what befalls us, protected by the full armor. And when we slip, for we surely will, we will rise from the ashes with fierceness and might. Amen.
