PLEASE don't wake me up again

Ok, so you are probably thinking that I forgot I was a blogger. Surprisingly, I did not. Actually, I have had an amazing spring break basically filled with one thing: checking cows. Yeah, you did read that last statement correctly. I work for my dad on our farm and ranch and it is now calving time. Hence, about every two hours, someone has to go outside and check on approximately 500 cows to see if anyone is about to produce a baby. This probably sounds awful to you. It can be. Being awoken from a deep sleep and having to go out in frigid South Dakota winter weather is not always the paradise on the forefront of my mind. But sometimes, it is not something bad at all. Sometimes I get to go out on a horse, with the moon and stars shining down on me, and peacefully ride through a group of quiet cows. There's another thing good about calving. You get to see one of the most amazing instincts the God of the universe has given animals: that of the mother recognizing her calf and the calf knowing what to do when he can stand. The cow somehow knows that the little thing with four legs belongs to her and she needs to take care of it. The calf somehow knows that there is milk in that cow and he needs to figure out where it is so that his belly is happy. I am sooooo glad that I don't have to teach every cow and calf that lesson: cause it wouldn't be easy. Seeing this makes me once again be amazed by what God does sometimes. He is so gracious to us. He so loves us. Let us love Him back.
