We will remain standing

The morning that I first saw the destruction scene of our farm was shocking to say the least. I looked around, but I didn’t look too closely. It was hard to take it all in.

When I went back to the farm later that day, I looked around and I looked around closely. I could still see make out the milk house where I once stood washing up machines. I could still see several drinking cups, where I once stood as I swept up before chores. I could still see the first boxstall pen, where I once backed up the entire barn cleaner. I could still see into the calf barn, where the pens once stood. But you know what else I saw? I saw one remaining calf pen still standing.

How this happened, I’m not sure at all. Nearly everything surrounding the calf pen is burnt to the ground. Aftermath

This calf pen that remains standing is such an incredible example of what we need to do.

Even when everything that this calf pen knew was gone and burned to the ground, it remained standing. Even in the midst of chaos, ice and snow, it remained standing.

And that’s exactly what we’re going to do as a farm and a family.

We will remain standing as everything that we knew was burned to the ground. We will remain standing in the midst of chaos, ice and snow. And we will continue to remain standing through whatever else comes our way.

Promise Yourself...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing 
can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, 
and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel like there
 is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and
 make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, 
to work only for the best, and expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success 
of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press
 on the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
 and give every living person you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement
 of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, 
and too strong for fear, and to happy to permit the presence of trouble.

I You And Everyone Will Remain Standing

Whatever situation you may be in the middle of right now, God can deliver you out of it - one person out of a thousand, a family out of a city, a city out of a nation, a nation out of the world. When people believe Him, and look to Him, and let Him be their God, He can deliver.
If you are standing on the Word of God, and you are in the secret place of the Most High, you are going to be standing there when nobody else is left.
If eleven thousand and one people were standing together, and ten thousand were to fall on one side and one thousand fall on the other, God has the marvelous ability to assure that you remain standing. You are hidden in the secret place of the Most High and His protection is over you.
If it weren't written in the Bible, we might think it is just too good to be true. But is there anything too hard for God?
No. Regardless of what comes our way, we can dwell under the shadow of the Almighty and remain stable and fixed under that shadow.
No power, no foe can withstand the presence and the power of God.
