Working alone

A farmer purchased an old, run-down,
abandoned farm with plans to turn it into
a thriving enterprise.
The fields were grown over with weeds,
the farmhouse was falling apart, and
the fences were broken down.
During his first day of work, the town preacher
stops by to bless the man's work, saying,
"May you and God work together to make
this the farm of your dreams!"
A few months later, the preacher stops by again
to call on the farmer.
Lo and behold, it's a completely different place.
The farm house is completely rebuilt and
in excellent condition, there is plenty of
cattle and other livestock happily munching
on feed in well-fenced pens, and the
fields are filled with crops planted in neat rows.
"Amazing!" the preacher says.
"Look what God and you have accomplished together!"
"Yes, reverend," says the farmer,
"but remember what the farm was like
when God was working it alone!
