An elderly man who lived alone in Idaho…..wanted to till his sizable potato garden, ….but it was backbreaking work, …..and his son, …..who used to help him, …..was recently sent to jail.

The old man mentioned this ….in a letter he sent to his son,…..He wrote:… “I’m not sure exactly what to do…… I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot…….It looks like I won’t be able to plant that garden this year after all.”

A few days later, he received a short note from his son, “Dad, For heaven’s sake, don’t dig up that garden …..that’s where We buried the loot ….from the heist!”

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a crew of police officers, arrived to find the stolen property.

After digging for hours, …..they gave up …..apologized to the old man …. and left.

A few days later the elderly gentleman received another letter from his son….. “Dear Dad, under these circumstances, that’s the best I can do, …. You should be able to plant your potatoes now.” (Pause)

One Liner
Reality is a nice place, but I wouldn’t want to live there.

Thought for the day
“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For, ‘In just a very little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.'” (Hebrews 10:36-37 NIV)

If you’re discouraged because of God’s delay in answering your prayers, understand the delay is not a denial. Just because the answer hasn’t come yet doesn’t mean God isn’t going to answer or that he’s forgotten you or that he doesn’t care about you.

It simply means “not yet”!
