……When feeding animals on the ranch, we usually try and put out multiple piles of grain in different places so as to spread out the herd or flock as they eat. In every flock, herd, or group of poultry we have, there are always two different types of feeders. The one group will go to a single pile and eat the grain there, while the second group will run from pile to pile, always expecting the next one to be ”better”, or “more” and as a final result getting less food than the first group. We people are at times like that too. Instead of chasing after what we don’t have… may we be grateful and thankful for what we do have. Appreciating that “pile” in front of us is more peaceful than pursuing the ones that are always just ahead of us.
