Fed Up!
I had returned from a two week ministry trip in South Africa and wanted to get the ‘cobwebs’ out of my mind. A good walk in the fresh air was what I needed, so I ventured out the house and began my three mile trek. It was dry when I started but after ten minutes a light drizzle fell, which developed into a steady stream of rain. You can’t get wetter than wet, so I decided to go ahead with the walk and enjoy the countryside. Head down and anorak hood up, I pushed onwards. I was passing a field full of cattle, when I noticed a solitary cow with it’s head hanging over a wall. If ever there was a picture of ‘fed up’ this was it. I started to laugh, to the consternation of the cow! The other cows were gathered together around the food trough, and also looked fed up, but this one cow had obviously had enough! Do cows get fed up? Yes, they do! Would you like to spend winter in a wet, muddy field with no shelter, heat and consume winter feed from a trough? No, of course you wouldn’t. Thank God I don’t believe in reincarnation! I would dread coming back as a cow!!!!!!
Everyone gets fed up at some time, but, everything is subject to change. The rain stopped and it cleared up. Blue skies up above and the scenery was amazing. I am sure, had I passed by the cow, it would have been looking up instead of ‘fed’ up! Life is so daily and even cows haven’t got it easy! But cheer up, even a bad hair cut is temporary. hair grows, rain stops, provision comes, relationships blossom, peace reigns and joy comes.
Always look on the bright side of life.
( That would be a great title for a SONG!!)
