THE IMPATIENT FARMER


Once there was a farmer, who sowed a field for hay
But then in his impatience, he planted wheat on the next day

After but a fortnight, he plowed up the field again
This time planting pumpkins, instead of such slow growing grain

Less than a season later, instead of waiting like he should
He got in his truck and drove away, leaving the farm for good

Muttering to himself and shaking his head, while driving on for hours
"Me oh my! Tell me how or why, I planted pumpkins and get yellow flowers?"


GALATIANS 6:9
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

2 THESSALONIANS 3:13
But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.

JAMES 5:7-8
Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord.
See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth,
waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.
8) You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
