JUST A FIELD WORKER!

I close my eyes,, I remember the farm,, the planting, the hoeing of the tender shuts, as they sprouted up and grew,,, the picking of cotton,, gathering of corn, helping my Mom gather her garden,, and folks ,, she had a garden,, a very large one.. we were just a typical family. We were a family, as were a lot of those who were farmers,, and also those that brought the "field hands". In our area,, those "field hands", were us.... for we worked in our own fields,, and as we would work hard to finish our hoeing,, our picking,, we would then hire out to the BIG farmers,, to help in their fields.. they would pick everyone up early, before daylight, in a big truck,,, maybe four to five families at a time in the back of that old truck, in the dark, rolling down a dirt road,,with our lunches, that mom would fix,, no , not sandwiches, but biscuits,, and a jar of tea,, (which we would put in the nearest stream to keep cool)... and those biscuits, were better than any sandwich bread you could have ever found! We did this, as a family,, so we could have money to buy clothes, shoes... not video games,, or any other toys,, for we were as excited as all get out to meet the mailman,, see what we had from Sears,, well , that was where all our clothes and shoes came from.. Mom would draw our feet and Sears would send us our shoes.. and they fit.. try that at Walmart, Target or Pay-less,, and see if you get any shoes, for you won't even find anyone to help you anyway!...... Well, my topic of the day,, yes we were field workers, and we produced, we worked as a group,, as families.. lots of love, determination,, and one other thing we did, was share , worship God, even a blessing of that food ,, out under that shade tree, or the shade of a wagon parked in the field..those clothes we knew He would provide with that money we earned in the fields,, but yes we talked, we showed,, we worshiped our God, out in the public,,, in those fields,,, no shame, but proud to do it. our heads high,, our hearts pure, our faith unshaken,, for we knew He would provide,, yes provide all of us with our needs, even if only small doses of "things",, for He loved us , as much as we loved Him... and it showed as the young would run and play durning that lunch period..not play electronic games,,,and all of them were fit,,, and in good shape....these poor little field hand "youngins"!
Now, maybe what we need in this world,,, are more,, & larger quantities of those old

FIELD HANDS,,,, AND THEIR FAITH IN THEIR GOD ,,AND THEIR JESUS!

Lord, thank You for those lessons ,,, I now ask that You instill that faith, & that showing of examples of You then,,,,, into now..,,,, today,, amen

No , not living in the past, but living as we did in the past, That of testifying of my Jesus,, and being a field hand for God in His field of man.. I hope you all get what this means this morning, and all of you put on your field heart and go to work for the Lord.. will you?
