Miracles never cease

One time I was cutting hay over at Wilkinsons by Ernies pond. The drive chain on the swather kept coming off. It had done it probably a dozen times. When it would happen I would have to take a bunch of stuff off of it and put it back together. I even had Steve Winn come over and weld some things back together and make them tighter. It still didn't work. I was so frustrated. I was Bishop at the time and it was Saturday afternoon. I had to get done because we were in a dry time and it was supposed to rain the next weekend. I never farmed on Sunday except to milk the cows. So if I had to wait until Monday the hay wouldn't get dry. Finally it fell off again. After putting it back on I knelt down next to the swather and plead with Heavenly Father. I told him that I had done all that I could to fix the machine and that I needed his help to get this job done, that Sunday was coming and that I had many things that I had to do for him. I got back onto the machine and started cutting the hay. I finished the job and to this day that chain has not fallen off again. Heavenly Father is there and he loves us for the things that we do for him. Thanks again Cindi for teaching me to pray. Dad
