Ran across another great connection to farming and leadership today. Reading a post about waiting, and how we often wait impatiently. It referenced a bible verse, James 5:7.

"See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains."

The article suggested we consider how the farmer waits—patiently and eagerly. We’re are to be hopeful, positive and full of expectancy! There's no hurrying the growth process of those plants.

How often do we await development hopefully, and full of expectancy in those who look to us for leadership? Another nugget to learn from farmers that are skilled "growers."
