As I watched Tony leave this morning, I found myself almost tearing up at the thought that he would begin harvesting his bean fields today. The emotion of knowing that we had made it through a move, planting of crops, settling in to our new home and life and finally harvest was almost more than I could handle without at least one cup of coffee in me. I could tell that he had a little more zip in his step today. The combine would be out and harvesting would officially begin, today, Thursday, September 26. Hallelujah!
Now begins long days and shorter nights, racing to get the crops picked before the first frost sets in. Prayers will continue that we have a great yield and that somehow prices of corn will bounce back up to where they were earlier this year. Prayers that our farmers stay safe and healthy. What I know is that I can't control any of this and THAT is something that I have to remind myself of day in and day out. Just because you do the work and work harder than most people doesn't mean that you are guaranteed financial success or even survival. I am nervous and worried but know God's great plan will carry us through. Blind faith, complete faith and hope. So proud of the Hinkle men.
