Manure

My mother-in-law always had cattle and it was the boys’ job to clean the barn daily. They didn’t like that job because some of the stuff got attached to them.  If they had to be in the public after the cleanup, they feared that their body might have absorbed some of that odor.

However, those animals provided milk and meat for the table plus fertilizer for the garden which produced delicious crops.

The Bible speaks about relationships being like that. There is a downside to every person that comes into our lives and every endeavor we make.

Proverbs 14:4

 Without oxen a stable stays clean,
    but you need a strong ox for a large harvest.

Remember the manure is always worth the benefits.

Give it some thought.
