Anything can go wrong during a frost where that kind of weather is rare. The waterlines are frozen, the water troughs are iced over, the tractor is cold and doesn’t start up well, and the cattle have ice on their backs. It’s an uncomfortable feeling because some of these cows still haven’t fully recovered from the drought this summer. We also had two new calves born this past weekend, and I can’t help but feel concerned for their new, little bodies staying warm.

These challenges have been expected for a long time now, and all we can do is deal with it when it happens.

Such is life.

There is a cycle of good times and with that comes the expectancy of challenging times. God never promised every day would be sunshine and rainbows. In fact, He told Noah to expect the seasons of change.

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease. ~Genesis 8:22

Nature in a fallen world takes it course. It’s good to know that, all the while, God is with us through it all. He is ever faithful, ever true.
