WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
Posted by: maryannabail <maryannabail@...>
A young man applied for a job as a farm hand. When the farmer inquired about his qualifications, the young man replied, "I can do whatever needs to be done, and I can sleep when the wind blows." The farmer was puzzled by the phrase, "sleep when the wind blows," but hired the young man anyway. A few nights later the farmer was awakened by a fierce and severe wind. He raced to the quarters of the hired man but was unsuccessful in arousing him from a heavy sleep. With considerable annoyance the farmer went to check things for himself. He found the doors locked, the chicken coop securely closed, the tractor in the barn, a load of hay covered with a tarpaulin, and all else taken care of. The farmer then remembered the young man's words, "I can sleep when the wind blows." He now realized what he had meant.
In the lives of all of us the storms of trials, sufferings, adversities, and disappointments will blow. Preparation should be made so that when the wind blows our faith will remain strong, our hope secure, and our peace of mind without disturbance.
When Mother Teresa was asked, " What can I do to promote world peace? ".......She said, " GO HOME AND LOVE YOUR FAMILY! "
