How I spent my weekend...

I spent my weekend shoveling all the wet bedding out of my flooded goats' stall.  Then spreading clean bedding around.

I spent my weekend shoveling rocks into a drainage trench (for our barn, because it keeps flooding).

I spent my weekend driving the tractor, and moving a pile of dirt with the bucket (of the tractor).

And I have to admit, that at first I didn't have a very good attitude about it.   I thought about all the other stuff I would of rather been doing.  Then I decided to have a good attitude about it, because, even though it was not fun, choosing to have a good attitude made the work not miserable to do anymore.  As I was working I thought to myself "I can't believe I am complaining about this when I have so much to be thankful for!"  A warm house, my family,...etc...

So I have to say even though I wasn't doing what I would have liked to be doing, I did  enjoy the rest of my weekend.   James 1:2 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds," (and I have to say I would hardly consider shoveling rocks or cleaning out a very muddy and wet stall a trial.)
