The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 109

Good morning everyone and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 4 of our new life and day 109 of my daily blogs. Today will be a very busy day delivering to Neighbour Food across the country and general farming duties. With deer, wild boar and goats you must check everything everyday as they are wild animals and they can get up all kinds of mischief but I would not change my type of faming for anything because my animals on the farm bring me great joy. I remember when I was a young boy my parents would always bless new born animals with holy water and every time they would see the animals in the fields they would always bless them verbally. At that time I didn’t take too much notice but no I fully realise how powerful these words and blessings were and are. Likewise, anytime we left home they would bless us and did so until they passed from us on earth. Today, formal blessings are rare in our society but I believe parents should do it all the time to their children and friends and community and wish everyone well as we do each morning in our little broadcast. It is a beautiful and lovely custom and one we might remember to enact more consciously. So today please send blessings to all who are near and dear to you and continue to pray and send healing to each other and wear that smile. Have a lovely and peaceful day.
