    Years ago , a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast.

    He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic . They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic , wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops.

    As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received A steady stream of refusals.

    Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer. “Are you a good farm hand?” the farmer asked him. “Well, I can sleep when the wind blows” answered the little man.

    Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, Hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man’s work.

    Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand’s sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled, “Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!”

    The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows.”

    Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm.

    To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins. The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were barred.

    The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down.

    Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.


    The moral of this story:

    • When you’re prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically, you have nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life?!

    • A little old couple walked slowly into a McDonald’s one cold winter evening.

      They looked out of place amid the young families and young couples eating there that night.

      Some of the customers looked admiringly at them. You could tell what the admirers were thinking: “Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more!”

      The little old man walked up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal.

      The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off of the tray.

      There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink.

      The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half.

      He placed one half in front of his wife.

      Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.

      He took a sip of the drink, and then his wife took a sip as the man began to eat his few bites.

      Again, you could tell what people around the old couple were saying. – “They were used to sharing everything .”

      Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady still hadn’t eaten a thing.

      She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally sipped some of the drink.

      A young man came over and begged them to let him buy them another meal.

      The lady explained that no, they were used to sharing.

      As the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin, the young man could stand it no longer and asked again.

      After being politely refused again, he finally asked the little old lady, “Ma’am, why aren’t you eating. You said that you share everything. What is it that you are waiting for?”

      She answered “THE TEETH”.
