As a farm girl who is thoroughly grounded in growing things and making things out of wood, I enjoyed a blog by a retired teacher out west, Sawdust Musing . Go visit him and smell his roses.
Sharecroppers farmed a section of land for the owners. They received everything they needed (and often less) from the owner. At the end of the season, they turned in their crop and received credit for it. Seldom was the credit enough to cover expenses for the coming year; so the sharecropper was always in debt to the owner. I remain in debt to God for every year that I continue in this life that God has given me. And, I am thankful for it.
