First It Gets Ugly

My grandpa used to say that “sometimes things need to get ugly before they can be made beautiful.” So, it is with clearing a pasture. Dirt, and root balls, and burn piles: feels like a WW I battlefield. But we have a vision in view, that soon this will be a beautiful, rolling pasture with God’s creatures grazing on lush grasses. The vision sustains us through The Ugly Stage.
