How important our contacts, our connections are, was impressed on me again, while reading a column in our local newspaper, The Northland Age, Tuesday, February 7, 2017. The advice “a problem shared is better than keeping it to yourself,” is also given in the column.

We are in the middle of a drought in Northland and it is easy for dairy farmers to get worried about their financial position. The dairy farmers had two low payout years and now the draught, and no one really knows when the next rain is coming. Dairy farmers who are concerned about their financial position are told to make the following contacts:

They are told to make first of all contact with their bank, secondly withe their suppliers, thirdly with their vet, and fourthly with their stock company.

I am glad that I don’t need to keep a problem to myself, because I have a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord has always time for me and I can call on Him, contact Him, at any time.

Praise the LORD!
