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.

I think if I had this view every morning, I would go to work in a more cheerful mood!
It would be very difficult to leave this view for work. Retirement is to be cherished, eh?

Sharecropper, I'm catching up with your thoughts on dreams, your construction news and photos. Lots going on that is so rich.
Thinking about you.
Pax, C.
