Motivational Story of the Week

When the Wind Blows
A young man applied for a job as a farmhand. When the farmer asked for his
qualifications, he said, "I can sleep when the wind blows." This puzzled the
farmer. But he liked the young man, and hired him.
A few days later, the farmer and his wife were awakened in the night by a
violent storm. They quickly began to check things out to see if all was
secure. They found that the shutters of the farmhouse had been securely
fastened. A good supply of logs had been set next to the fireplace. The young
man slept soundly.
The farmer and his wife then inspected their property. They found that the
farm tools had been placed in the storage shed, safe from the elements. The
tractor had been moved into the garage. The barn was properly locked. Even
the animals were calm. All was well.
The farmer then understood the meaning of the young man's words, "I can sleep
when the wind blows." Because the farmhand did his work loyally and
faithfully when the skies were clear, he was prepared for the storm when it
broke. So when the wind blew, he was not afraid. He could sleep in peace.
