Does anybody ever feel stressed about harvesting? I mean on one hand I feel incredibly blessed, and see God's goodness in that I have food and access to food, but find it a challenge to manage my work, my house work, the gardens, meals, the kids, and life in general. My abounding blessings cause great stress for me. But upon closer examination, I have decided that I spend less time in the morning in prayer when I am so busy and less time in the Bible, and I think that there is a direct correlation between that!
Especially in consideration of the economic turmoil, I don't want to waste a thing, so I have found that my stress levels run high this time of year because I cannot get everything done that I want to.
Does this economic turmoil and the way grocery prices are inflating, make anyone else a little stressed out about getting all their harvest put up. I normally find canning and cooking relaxing, but for some reason, the sense of urgency I feel towards getting my food processed is more intense.
How about you? Are you relaxed and enjoying every minute, or are you trying to put up food, and feeling a bit tired and overwhelmed by the time it requires?
