Praying for Potatoes

I remember as a young boy riding in the John Deere 4430 with my Dad as he was planting potatoes. He had finished planting a quarter section and was getting ready to head to the next field. He walked about 100 feet out into the freshly planted field and took a knee and ran his hand through the freshly turned soil and bowed his head.

When he came back to the tractor I asked him what he was doing. He replied, "I've done all I can do. I was just leaving the rest of the work in God's hands."

I still need to learn to do this more frequently.

Today I am "Praying for Potatoes". A very dear friend of mine is waiting on all the pieces to fall into place to make some exciting changes. And they aren't falling as rapidly as she would like. So today I am leaving the rest of the work in God's hands. We've done what we can do. The rest is up to the One who knows what is best.
