It is 12 degrees in Ohio and Randy is choosing to spend the
day outside on the farm with my dad. Dad doesn’t necessarily need Randy’s help,
but Randy wanted to spend the day with him anyway. In fact, Randy has spent 3
of our 7 “vacation days” working alongside my father. Telling stories,
understanding the rhythm of the farm, and learning more about corn yields and
moisture percentages and other farmer talk.
"Serving", I am already learning, is not necessarily the same as doing or even helping. Serving can mean being present, wanting to understand others and their
lives, and taking the time to connect.
