Ever stepped in a nice big fresh pile of cow poop?
The first time is not pleasant. Most likely you will be wearing sandals or your favorite pair of sneakers (the ones with super grip soles). Your friends will be laughing and you will be angry. If you were wearing sandals, maybe on the verge of tears. After this initial experience, when entering a pasture, you will either have the proper footwear or you will look for dark piles as if they were landmines.
Ever over-promised and under-delivered?
Ever failed a teammate or family member?
Ever fumbled on the 1 yard line?
Mistakes are coming.
Setbacks are inevitable.
Struggle is necessary.
Cows are going to poop.
Learn not to step in it.
Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
Proverbs 14:4 KJV
