Whenever I get the chance to watch this show I wish they would broadcast it every day. It''s informative, entertaining, engaging, and offers positive (!!!!) stories that actually make you feel good. They also have a marvelous nature moment at the end of each show which is usually totally awesome. I know this through a friend of mine; we leave for church before the show is over.
It was a mad dash this morning. We were late getting out of bed so we were rushed and caught only bits and pieces of today's airing. One story was absolutely marvelous. A young mother diagnosed with MS, a family struggling financially, and a 9-year-old girl who borrowed money from her grandmother to begin a business. Four years later the family finances have stabilized and the young lady is now putting her money into her college fund. So what did she do? Bought over one hundred hens, got an award for "good chicken farming", and is making over $15,000 a year. And yes, her chickens live the good life. It was an amazing experience to see the family's pride in their daughter and just plain amazing that a child of that age would 1) even think of doing something like that; 2) have enough faith in herself to jump into it; and 3) succeed so well. (Yes, it was mentioned that she had no experience with any type of farming.)
It reminds me that one person can indeed change the world, or at least a small part of the world that they reside in. And isn't that just cool?
Sometimes life is very, very good. At any rate,
life goes on.
