“The condition for a miracle is difficulty, however the condition for a great miracle is not difficulty, but impossibility.”
My husband and I watched the movie Faith Like Potatoes last night. Great movie for this season of our life especially. It’s the real-life story of South African farmer Angus Buchan who, in faith, plants potatoes in the dust in the midst of a severe drought. You can guess what happens.
Are you facing difficulty or impossibility? Then you are ripe for miracles, if you would just have “faith like potatoes,” or “like a mustard seed,” as we have more commonly heard from Scripture.
The photo I posted here was from our recent outing to Lake Billy Chinook. This log captured my attention and mesmerized me for quite some time. The old timber would float to and fro with the waves, smoothed to nearly silk from the endless action of the waves. It provided hours of glee for my son who would sit on it, and hours of contemplation for me as I thought about the ups and downs and yet constancies of life.
Okay now I really want to see that movie. But really I dont know what happens. Am I a little dense? Am I too assume that since there was a drought the potatos didnt grow or am I to assume that of course the potatos grew because he planted them in faith? Yikes, Im sorry to be so thick headed here! LOL

Mrs. Darling, Well, you’ll just have to watch the movie. :-) It’s excellent, run right out and get it! And be sure to watch the documentary that’s included on the DVD, it’s even better than the movie!

An inspirational post, Jennifer.
Aren’t we blessed to live in the PNW where old logs populate our beaches? :~D
