Living on a farm has so many joys but it also brings heartbreak. For example, last week a hawk flew down and took out my four baby turkeys. I had only had them for three weeks and they were getting to place where they followed me around all over the farm. I was the only momma they knew, so they would yell and shout when they couldn’t find me, but when they did fine me they would get all happy and run to my feet.
It makes me think about our Heaven Father and how when we can’t find him we yell and shout to be in His presence. In Hebrews 13:5 God promises that he will never leave us nor forsake us
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Just like I attend to my chickens and other farm animals, our Father attends to us. In Matthew 6:26, it says;
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Ahh, isn’t that a relief? Just knowing that God cares so much for us and that we are valuable to Him makes it easy for us to lay our conflicts, our issues, our disappointments at His feet. He is truly an amazing God!

What a wonderful reminder of God’s deep love for us and that it never changes throughout our lives.
Thank you, Tammy! The one thing that is for sure no matter what, God is always there for us. That’s comforting to know.
Thanks for the beautiful reminder.
You are so welcome, Angela. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I hope to see you again soon! xoxo
I hate that your baby turkeys are gone. 🙁
I know…I loved those little alien-looking feathered babies. Nonetheless, I’ll attempt it again next Spring. Thank you for stopping by, Lynda. Hope to see you again soon! xoxo
God and I have had a crazy relationship but I’m glad we still have one.
One thing that stands the test of time is that God is faithful. Regardless of how many time we pull away from Him, He is always there for us. So happy to hear that you have a relationship with Him. Thank you so much for sharing, Maryann! xoxo
I’m so sorry for your sweet turkeys. I’m a city girl yet sometimes daydream about farm life.
Thank you for stopping by Marcie. I was a city girl up until 5 years ago when we moved from Tampa, Florida to the rural mountains of Kentucky. Not sure how I would like it, but fell in love nearly immediately. I do miss the shopping and the finer places to eat, but just walking outside and seeing all the beautiful nature and wildlife is just amazing. I do get my fill of city life when I visit my grown daughters who still live in the Tampa Bay area, but find myself longing to get back to the farm. There’s nothing like country living and the locals are some of the most friendliest people I’ve ever met. Keep that daydream alive, you just never know when it will come to reality. 🙂
Thank you for the reminder. I needed this today.
Oh good Jenn, so happy that this was what you needed to read/hear. I often come back to these inspirational posts to uplift my spirit. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I’m so grateful! xoxoxo
I think about this often…He has never let me down
It’s amazing what an awesome God he is to care about every detail in our lives. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I so appreciate it. xoxoxo
What a great reminder. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome Vanessa. Happy to hear that it was inspiring to you. xoxoxo
I’m so sorry about your baby chicks.
I’m sorry about your baby turkeys.
Sorry about your turkeys.
I definitely don’t think I could make it on a farm. Maybe if I grew up on one things would be differently.
God’s love is great and it’s everlasting. Such an incredible feeling to have faith.
Thank you so very much for the reminder!
One thing I know for sure is that He loves me and He never fails me.
I am so thankful He loves me so very mcuh!!
Such a great reminder. Matthew 6:26 is one of my favorite verses.
thanks for sharing!!
My hubby always says that God feeds the birds – we know this because they poop on our cars – so if He feeds the birds He will feed and care for us. Loved your post.
Great reminder for us all to think about. We are precious and we are loved.
