The German Farm Woman

 I was reading one of my home county newspapers tonight, and read an obituary of one  sturdy German American farm woman, named Esther, that died in North Dakota on March 24, 2020. If I could quote from her obituary: "She was a self-starter and if she saw something that needed to be done, she would just do it. She was a hard-working, strong, determined and independent German woman to the end."

Esther's can-do approach to life is inspirational and to be emulated. If young people could come to realize that they come from God, are to make something of their divine gifts, as personal talent-development is an offering back to God, then too being self-starters like Esther was would be a fine way to live and grow.
