My dear hubby is always on the look out for a good deal. He also always has his boys in mind. Imagine their surprise when he came home one day with a new (to them) 4-wheeler. Dad came across this "toy" and struck up a deal with the owner. My guys were on cloud-9!!
Know what this is? Read on and find out!
After riding around in our front pasture, which isn't very big, they asked to go out in the back pasture to ride. The back pasture is not our land. However, we are blessed with a wonderful neighbor that has told the boys that they could use his pasture anytime. They weren't out back very long when we noticed we didn't hear the 4-wheeler anymore. Sure enough, they were stuck in the mud! Bryce was the driver and he doesn't have the experience to navigate through the muddy spots...yet!
Luckily for the boys, Dad was home for lunch and came to the rescue with the tractor. I am sure in the back of his mind he must have been wondering if this gift was going to be more trouble than good. He was not a happy Dad at that moment.
Let's just say they haven't asked to go out in the back pasture again. I am sure they will be out there one day though. Actually, I think they enjoy that kind of adventure as long as it doesn't require Dad to come to their aid.
They have blazed a trail and left their mark!I love to use opportunities like this to remind my children of the Lord and His goodness. Our family, like so many others, is feeling the economic pinch in our budget and we could never afford to buy something like this. However, we serve an infinite God and His economy has NO limit. Only because of His perfect love and care for us do we receive anything good-even 4-wheelers.
Thank Him for His goodness,
Pam

You never told us what was on the wheel..... I thought you were going to say cow poop or something.
what a blessing!! God's Word says he will make our enemies work for us or bless us (not saying that person was an enemy) but cause other people to bless us from our Father's bounty. lets all remember to keep our eye on the "Embroideror" of the "Embroidery" our life. Lord may we be a willing vessel or clay that you may design to your perfection.
Boys... If there is mud they will find it!! :)
YOu asked about the cold temps. Our animals are free to come and go as they wish. THey all have access to a shelter. We are currently not milking anyone. We got rid of our goats and dried off our milk cow a few weeks ago. All 3 cows (well, 2 cows and one heifer) are all pregnant Lord willing. Even when we are milking, we usually milk them near or under a shelter. If it is cold, they still have to be milked.
