Unfortunately though I lived in a place that did not value those efforts because I was not making any money. Now that I am retired and homesteading Our Small House Homestead I feel that my "work" is keeping our homestead up, growing our organic food, taking care of our animals and my husband. This is rewarding work that I am proud of. It is just sad and unfortunate that our culture does not value the word of our hand and our hearts.

We lived on a vegetable farm and I had to plant seeds, weed the garden, shell the beans, etc etc forever it seemed like. But now that I'm an adult, I don't shy away from hard work and the Lord has blessed me because of it. So grateful for that background in getting my hands dirty. :) (Even though I didn't like it a bit back then, LOL!)Jamie Rohrbaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368670081110656539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-9118653675711060422014-07-24T14:33:38.742-05:002014-07-24T14:33:38.742-05:00Thank you!

We are farmers, and fortunately we homeschool and we don't have television...because if my children got a whiff of how other people live, they might feel a little denied. We don't deny them, though, we have given them the gift of a good work ethic - and a love for working with our hands as God has willed.

Sometimes I tend to feel sorry for my family, but they aren't complaining and seem to enjoy themselves after a hard days work. Thanks for the good reminder that we are created to work hard with our own hands.<br />Shirley in VirginiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
