As we move into the Christian Holy Week and the Jewish Passover, we are reminded of suffering. Sadly, current events force us to recognize the brokenness of our world. The truck attacks in Europe, the church bombings in Egypt and the many churches and mosques that have been destroyed across Iraq and Syria are a reminder that many in our world suffer. This is a time to contemplate our place in the world and in the eyes of God. Then when the week is done we can celebrate freedom from slavery and resurrection into new life.
On the farm this week also marks a change. After a long wait we are finally breaking away from the grip of a cold winter. The sunny days will warm and dry the soils so that we may begin the first plantings. The buds on the trees will begin to swell. The birds and wildlife are singing the songs of spring. And we will look forward to the new life this season will bring.
Happy Passover and Happy Easter,
Farmer Dave
