C4—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 15,1980
Hey, know what
November is? It’s National
Farm Wife Month!
I really wonder about
something, though. If God
had wanted women to be
farm wives, you’d think He’d
have equipped them dif
ferently.
You’d think He might have
given them extension arms
for gathering eggs, reaching
up to a high limb on an apple
tree or grabbing for a sow
that was halfway out the
gate.
You’d think He’d have
designed them with broader
shoulders for boosting hay
bales, bigger hands for
washing cows udders and
steel-tipped toes for loading
St&€l*S
You’d think He’d have
stretched their legs just a bit
longer for taking bigger
strides when chasing
escaped heifers and a
stronger back for lifting
potato sacks and half-bushel
baskets of peaches.
But God, of course, in His
ammmmmmmmmmmm

On being
a farm wife
-And other
hazards
.i Joyce Bupp
infinite wisdom, knows best.
He knew farm women
would cope, would find a way
to overcome their physical
shortcomings, would hold
their own when needed to
help produce food for a
hungry world.
After spending many
hours this week rubbing
shoulders with farm women
from across the country,
attending the American
Agri-Women convention at
Hershey, I’m reminded that
God has given these farm
partners capabilities that
outweigh sheer physical
muscling.
He gave them deter
mination, not just to work
the fields and bams beside
their men, but to go forth and
become vital spokesmen for
their industry, to speak out
agd work to preserving the
way of life which they
cherish for their families.
He gave them patience,
that extra measure of care to
lavish on small children,
ailing animals, tender

plants, tired farmers, to
soothe and smooth tempers
and hurts through drought,
hail and eighteen-hour days.
He gave them a sense of
humor because in His
wisdom God knew that
almost anything can be
borne more easily through
honest and shared laughter,
whether it be a tractor stuck
in the swamp, pigs in the
garden, aphids devouring
the alfalfa or the bottom
dropping out of the gram
market overnight.
And He gave them a sense
of faith, deepened and
sustained through the
seasons that roll on eter
nally, through years of
minimal harvests and those
of overflowing bounty.
And in November - and
always - farm women pause
to thank him for always
being there to listen to their
problems and their cares
and for the blessing of
working the land in this nch
and free America.
) Have a
nice weekend...
