Pickin' Rocks

Pickin' rocks is not a fun job but it is something that has to be done.  After mowing the alfalfa,  my farmer goes through the fields and picks up rocks that have come to the surface.  It's amazing how many rocks come up between each cutting.  But if they are not picked up they could dull the knives on the harvester or make worse damage.  My job was to drive the truck while my farmer sat on the back and looked for rocks and jumped off to pick them up.  Sometimes I got out and picked a few up also.  We got finished in about an hour and headed home for supper with the kids.  Hannah had made chicken stir fry with rice.  It was yummy!

"Help us, Lord, as we're working the row, cutting down the briars, moving back the rocks, and pulling out the stumps, the front line, give us courage, Lord, big strong hearts, buckle up the armor; give us great strength and the power of Thy Spirit."
