Farm Wife

What wonderful weather we are having at this time of the end of September. In the area I live in we have been able to open all the windows in our house to smell the smells of the beginning of fall. I love the smell at this time of year as I take dried clothes off the cloth line in the back yard. It is said that this morning fall began. Just think what God will do in the next few months, from warm weather, to bright colors on trees, and to colder weather and possibly snow. So during this time on the farm we are harvesting our crops that God gave us to put up for feed and to sell at the elevator to pay bills for raising the crop we just harvested. Also, at this time of year we have many little pigs running around with their mothers in the fields that have been picked and cut. It has been a few years since I have been able to assist my husband in preparing for winter so I have put on old clothes and helped sort a sow out to put in a special place so she can have a peaceful birthing time. Also, I have been riding to a seed corn company near our farm who is giving some of their scraps for feed and bedding for our sow herd. This has been going on for 20 years and we have been blessed with a good supply to last us until this time next year. God has given this bountiful supply as a wonderful blessing to help with the feed bill. Well it is time for me to end and make a light lunch for my husband. Have a wonderful fall.

Reading your entry today reminded me of Proverbs 31, the virtuous women. There is always a great deal of work to do if a woman is going to be a "help" suitable for her husband. I think of the awesomeness of God when he chooses our mate. We have all that we need to be a real blessing to our husbands. I often think younger people just don't get it. The world says "me first" but that is not how God wants it. We steal from ourselves the blessing of God when we neglect to put others first. Joyce, your roll of a virtuous women IS far above rubies. You are an inspiration to others!
