James 5:7-8 ” Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the Autumn and Spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.”

No one is more at the mercy of the elements like a farmer. They work the soil, plant the seed, and then wait for the rain. It takes patience, spiritual growth, and maturity to give your entire livelihood into the Lord’s hands for safe keeping…but farmers do it year in and year out. And so today, I honor my favorite farmer, my dad, who went home to be with the Lord this morning.
