As a child I was always facinated by farms. I always knew I wanted to live on one, and be a farmer. Yet today farms are hard to find, and even harder to own. Trust me I have tried, but farm credit is hard to come by. I relinqueshed my dream long ago.
Then I had my first son, and that nagging thought was in the back of my mind again. But I pushed it out once more. Then my second son came in the end of November, and now here the thought once again. I want my boys to grow up in the country, free roaming on a beautiful farm, learning to care for animals, and repsecting the land. But I am stuck at how to obtain this dream, and hopefully that is where this blog comes in.
While laying in bed, I was thinking how much we as an American society have forgotten how easy it is to help our neighbors. To take a few minutes and help an elderly person carry in groceries or unload their basket in the checkout line, or to give a homeless person a dollar to get a cup of coffee. When did a dollar become too much to spare?
Here is where I ask you all to do just that....... spare a dollar. Let us see what can be made of a dollar. In this country there are around 306 million people. Imagine if each one gave a single dollar to help another, how far would we be able to go? How much would we be able to accomplish? That is the goal here. To put into motion a pay it forward.
You, my readers, take a blind gamble and donate a dollar, or what you see fit, and from there I will take that dollar and when there are enough of them buy a working farm. From there I will take what I make and turn around and pass that same dollar to as many people as I can, in a hope that the dollar will change their lives as I hope mine will change. As time goes on I will continue to give more background of my family, and kids, and hopefully one day the workings of a great farm. Until then be blessed and have a wonderful day.
