Lore of the farm

🌾 The Lore of the Farm: Tending the Crops of Our Life

There’s an old story about two farmers.

One farmer rose early each morning to tend his fields. He checked the soil, watered the seedlings, pulled the weeds, and added a bit of fertilizer when the plants needed strength. Over time, his care paid off — when harvest season came, his fields were golden with abundance.

The other farmer was less disciplined. He slept in, put things off, and told himself that the rain would come when it came. Weeds grew wild, pests took over, and when harvest time arrived, there was little to show for the season.

The moral is simple, but powerful: you reap what you sow — and how you tend the crop matters.

The Everyday Lesson

This isn’t just about farming. It’s about life. Whether it’s your health, your relationships, your work, or your dreams — the same principle applies. Growth doesn’t happen by chance; it happens through care, consistency, and commitment.

Like sharpening the saw, it’s about the small, regular acts that keep you sharp and ready. A little water every day. A weed pulled before it spreads. A bit of nourishment when you’re running low.

The Harvest Comes Later

Progress isn’t always visible. Some days it feels like nothing’s growing. But every small act compounds — and eventually, the results appear.

The lesson of the farmer reminds us:

• 🌱 Tend to your habits. They are the soil of your future.

• 💧 Nurture what matters. Time and attention are your water and sunlight.

• 🌾 Be patient. The harvest doesn’t come overnight — but it always comes to those who persist.

So, look at the fields of your own life. Which ones are thriving, and which have been left untended? What small step can you take today to start tending again?

Because just like the good farmer, the best harvests come from the ones who care — every day.
