Sy het die advertensie vir die boer gelees. Dit het die plasie beskryf as ’n pragtige plekkie in ’n ideale omgewing - stil en rustig, omring deur groen heuwels, gevoed deur die dam en geseën met goed-geteelde diere. Die boer sê, “Lees dit weer vir my.” Nadat hy dit ’n tweede keer gehoor het, sê hy, “Wag, ek het van plan verander. Ek verkoop nie meer nie. Ek het my hele lewe lank nog na so ’n plek gesoek.” Wat het verander? Sy perspektief. Soms moet ’n mens dit wat jy as vanselfsprekend beskou, of dit wat jy as alledaags sien en wat begin om jou te verveel, sien deur iemand anders se oë voor jy dit weer kan waardeer. Neem ’n oomblik om regtig eerlik te wees oor jouself en jou lewe, en te dink aan hoe geseënd jy eintlik is... Kyk mooi na jouself en jou lewe en sien al die seëninge wat God daagliks oor jou uitstort.
