The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 649

Good afternoon everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre. Christmas eve is usually a time of wind down here at Ballinwillin with all the major tasks of the year either completed or rescheduled. It is a day of reflection on the farm and in the garden a time to pray. A time to find peace with God, a time to rest with Mother Nature and all she has bestowed on us for the past year and a time to be thankful for the good, the bad and the ugly. When I am in the fields or in the garden I listen to my hidden voice in my heart and it calls out for peace, freedom and creativity. We can linger for years without realizing the grandeur of our spirit but if we live truthfully and generously our spirit will lead us to be an artist in our field by living in the now and close to Mother Nature and here is a question prompted by the loss of a very good human being earlier today - what would we all do if we were asked the following question "what would you do if you had more time?" Reflect today, pray, power healing and peace to all who need it and wear your Christmas Eve smile.
