Visitors

Dad, mum, eldest sis and nephew came to spend a few days here with me. They came last wednesday and would be leaving for home tomorrow. I am glad to have time with them, since moving here I have very little time to sit and chat with them. My weekly trips are too short for me to hang around home so their coming was good as we practically have the whole time to ourselves. Furthermore the rains visited us everyday or so making serious work impossible. Managed to clean the two small barns for the arrival of another 300 chicks come Tuesday. The daily routine of feeding, cleaning and tending to the farm inhabitants kept me busy for most part of the day, Gordon and Daisy gets to play the whole day with my dear nephew, sis helped with cleaning and we all got to eat home cooked meals. Sigh! I wish my dear wife is here. I am praying hard that God will bless and give her strength as she deals with the crazy business world. We do live in a crazy world which seems to have lost its’ sanity. We are conditioned to pursue a whole lot of stuff which aren’t really important and in return sacrifice all that matters. We are besieged daily with views, news, opinions of all sorts that shapes our worldview and influences our minds, and in a subtle way change our values often without us realizing it, making us less and less alive or should I say less human? Sadly we remain powerless to do anything about it. We are lethargic, our minds dull and weak from the stress of keeping up with expectations, demands of our wonderful lifestyles, we are deceived, sentenced to a life devoid of any real purpose and meaning. What is the point of our existence? What is the point of my existence? Lord open my eyes, I want to see your glory in me…
I look to the day when we could really be self sufficient, or at least 70% self sufficient, I don’t think I can plant my own rice or grow my own apples here. My life is not perfect yet, it will be near perfect if my wife could live here without making the stressful trips to the city to work in an equally stressful business environment. I travel only once a week to the city and I feel stressed once I hit the MRR2, the traffic will drive you nuts if the people don’t. Anyway, there is absolutely nothing I can do at this present moment about this predicament we are in. All I can do is to work on the land and hope for the future… and hope in God.
Coming week will be hectic with the arrival of the new chicks, please consume more of our chickens and help us in our quest to be responsible farmers… Terima kasih kerana membeli barangan kami! Semoga Tuhan lanjutkan usia kamu!!!
