Yes, I am able to share something for fun—in fact, two items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This farmer was good to his animals and took care of them, just like a farmer today takes care of his tools and his tractor.
He also faithfully remembered the Sabbath, Sunday—did no work and went to church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Early one Sunday it rained very hard, and his Model T got stuck in the mud before he got out of his driveway.
So, he harnessed his big, strong horse with plenty of power to pull the car out of the ditch.
But the horse refused.
What ? The horse never refused to work before, and the farmer never had to force the dependable, trusted animal.
Talking to the horse didn’t work.
Talking to God did—he got an answer.
The farmer went back in the house, took off his Sunday clothes, and put on his work clothes.
The horse immediately, willingly pulled the car out of the ditch.
And the farmer thanked God, and thanked the horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
