Thanksgiving

November fifth is butchering day at Rise 'N' Shine Farm. I will miss my feathered friends. They follow me around the farm like dogs. Although, I believe Rufus (A White Holland) and his girlfriend will stay and reside as part of the farms ambiance. Rufus won his way into my heart at two days old when he would drop his wings, strut and turn in a circle. His daily dignified dance has captured my attention and won a place in my heart. He has never been forceful with his demeanor like some of the other males, but proudly displays his presence with a dignified honor.
It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is around the corner. After raising turkeys, we truly know the depth of the meaning of Thanksgiving. I have not been sheltered from the process of life and understand it's deeper significance. I often times correlate the nurturing, care, love and sacrifice that goes into raising an animal with the life of our Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord for blessing me with joy and understanding and for the gifts that you have richly bestowed upon me. Thank you for your sacrifice and for loving me enough to save me and bless me with a heavenly home to spend with you in eternity. I am truly thankful.

Romans 10:9 (KJV
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
