Fathers Day ….( yesterday ) …..
Amazing man of God spoke on ” success + significance ”
So many challenges…..we walked away FULL of GOD….

I try to let Rock ,on Fathers Day and his Birthday ( today )
do what ever he likes….being it is “his day “…..

I could tell that he wanted to go to my Dad’s and clean up…
some huge limbs – that were twisted on a tree, that has been
there since I was little…..limbs all over the farm….
in the field, a limb –  so huge that I could not lift it….
limbs out by the machine shed…..
the barnyard full of small limbs….

So let the Fathers Day – begin !
Rock doing what he loves….chainsaws and tractors.
Me –  gator and picking up branches, hooking chains….
weeding and small management …” up a bit, with the loader”

Then Rock, ” you can take this load back ”   ( to the river pile )
My Dad’s Kabota Tractor…..
I could run the old yellow state tractor…..blind folded….
no problem,  run up and get it on my own….
But MY DADS….new Kabota ?

Rock, ” just get on it, it is a hydrostat….you can do it ”

And so I did….. running the levers, the foot control…
and as I drove back, our now grassed lane,
only because there is less traffic….
” alligator tears just ran “……….why ?

Because,  it was a moment….
” that only MY DAD ……could of taught me ”

It came from within…..
It came from many times, hearing his voice …
” Leave up on that lever”
It came from ~  how I was raised, where I grew up…..

and I said , outloud…..in a soft , hurt voice……
” I am doing it…….I am doing it ”
Knowing Dad would be pleased that I USED…..
what he lived to provide…..
” less back work …with more machine ”

He also would say,
” I don’t understand why Rock, doesn’t use….
( more machine ) …..
and then I watched Rock,  with bucket raised HIGH…
doing also…..what my Dad taught him……
what he learned through shear getting it on his own…..
go at it….and the limb broke just the way it should…
not hitting the house, no one hurt…… ” thank you, Jesus ”

Rock, my husband ~  in his element
Dad, my father ~  now in the best element….

It was a Fathers Day that GOD SPOKE TO ME :
” only your father, Janelle, could teach you what YOU needed ”
( today it was to run his tractor )

Only our Heavenly Father, can teach us individually….
what WE will need……for our ”  kabota time ”
that only HE KNOWS……I am grateful.

I used the tractor…
what Dad lived to provide us with…

Am I……using all that JESUS CHRIST…
Lived and Died to ….provide us with ?

That is in honor…..
That is, truly ~ in honor……of Him alone
