Wanting someone to plow
The ground is hard and full of rocks, thorns and weeds. No new life can spring up on the ground until it is first plowed. Plowing a field will be extremely hard work and it will take up time, but in order to have a crop, the field must be plowed.

Although I know there are countless needs to be meet and we are not equip to meet them all, I do believe there is always something we can do to
