A couple of stories to warm your heart

For even the fittest of farmers, harvesting the crops on thousands of acres of farmland is tough, tiring, time-consuming work. 

A farmer from Ritzville, Washington, was diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma and found himself unable to get his work done on his own. 

However, the other farmers in his area came together and selflessly added some extra work on top of their own.

Lane Unhjem was in the middle of harvesting his wheat and canola farm near Crosby, North Dakota when his combine caught fire. 

In the stress of the event, Unhjem went into cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital. 

But his farm is harvested as neighbors, friends and family wasted no time stepping up to help finish the job.

  3. Good on them.This type of thing happens more often than people think, though on a smaller scale.

    Earlier this year I was told that I had a brain tumor & had it removed and was diagnosed with Glioblastoma. The support of friends,family and strangers has overwhelmed me.

    I'm hanging in there, best as I can. "I ain't dead yet"

  5. A good reminder that God is alive and well and being glorified by us humans. Heathen take care, my daughter had her surgery in January and doing well. If you ever need specialty work add Johns Hopkins to your research list. Our experience was outstanding.
