a thought from a cousin

[Auld Phart]

You're welcome to pass it on.

"A while back I read a story of a visiting pastor who attended a men's breakfast in the middle of a rural farming area of the country.

The group had asked an older farmer, decked out in bib overalls, to say grace for the morning breakfast.

"Lord, I hate buttermilk", the farmer began. The visiting pastor opened one eye to glance at the farmer and wonder where this was going. The farmer loudly proclaimed, "Lord, I hate lard." Now the pastor was
growing concerned. Without missing a beat, the farmer continued, "And Lord, you know I
don't much care for raw white flour". The pastor once again opened an
eye to glance around the room and saw that he wasn't the only one to
feel uncomfortable.
Then the farmer added, "But Lord, when you mix them all together and
bake them, I do love warm fresh biscuits. So Lord, when things come up that we don't like, when life gets hard, when we don't understand what you're saying to us, help us to just relax and wait until you are done mixing. It will probably be even better than biscuits Amen.""

But you have to understand today's society is all about instant. Instant gratification, instant phone service thanks to cell phones, instant Internet. Almost instant travel because of jets, no more long sea voyages. Bullet trains.

To not become an instant success is unthinkable. To not have instant wealth unimaginable. To not have things instantly they way you believe they should be crazy.
