The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 35

Good morning everyone on this Sunday morning and my favourite day of the week when we all should take a rest and some time off. As always on a Sunday morning I like to take you on a tour of the garden and see what colour we have to see today. The beautiful flowers on the trees, the smell of the wet grass, it permeates all things that they may not die, they remind me I am alive. When I came in from the farm this morning I could not help but notice no cars in the car park, no guests in the bed and breakfast, no banter at the breakfast table. I am really missing our wonderful guests at Ballinwillin House but I am really looking forward to meeting them all again and what we all have to look forward to once Covid 19 lockdown is over.

I suppose during these times it is reasonable to say that when we take time for silence and for prayer that we give ourselves a chance to remember who we really are and what life is really about. It is also a time that is made special and glorious by a sense of ones presence and ones self. Our health requires relaxation and remember “the softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world”.

Continue to pray, bless and heal each other.
