Am I a Pastor or a Farmer???

What's Up!!!
I pray that this post finds you all well and enjoying this Christmas season.
Merry Christmas.....

Today I asked myself a question I never thought I would ask...Am I a Pastor or a Farmer?

Every year our church holds a live nativity with sheep, a donkey, and a cow. When you are in college they always tell you that you are a pastor...and the janitor...and the chair and table guy....and the bathroom cleaner. You are never just a pastor.

Well this year I got nominated to be the official farmer of Lakeview Community Church. Since we have our animals in front of the church like a petting zoo, my morning routine is to go outside, feed the animals, and give them fresh water. Today the cow decided to leave me a surprise. Apparently the stupid cow felt the need to take a HUGE dump in his water bucket!!! So here I am, Rev. Farmer Fred, dressed for work, trying to get the bucket full of cow crap clean without getting it all over my clothes.

In the midst of the terrible smell I'm reminded that even cleaning the cow crap water can be an act of worship... Smell and all.

No matter what your day is like remember... Whatever you do in word or deed,do it all for the Glory of God.....even if your cleaning out a bucket full of cow crap :)


Lovingly Cheering Each of You On!!!!!
