Thanks for that story. It's helpful, both for your rich farmer example and for your reaction now when you think of him and how he lived.

I remember how easy it was to give in to a jealous sort of coveting about rich farmers and their kids' toys. I couldn't see the forest or the trees with those 4x4 posts in my eyes.

I was and still am slow to realize that Jesus always has had the best safety glasses. He gives them away for free, too.

I know exactly what you mean, I guess I understood that he was a good man but it took me quite a few years to understand why, but then it was too late to rectify my wrong, or even say thank you.

I did not mention that he had his son, younger than me to take me down town and buy me new clothes before we could even head for the farm.

Gods servants are where you find them, and God bless them.

Thanks for the reply.
