The Farmer's Wisdom: Nurturing Faith and Harvest on Guam

On our beautiful island of Guam, a farmer’s love of harvesting unripe bananas, hanging them above the firepit, and covering them as a preventive measure to keep flies from hindering the process allows the bananas to ripen faster.  The harvester's instincts and wisdom to gain the wits of a traditional nurturing stage of a farmer’s survival. Gains us the ability to comprehend the concept behind this old, traditional golden tactic, which lies in the symbolism of the heart of the matter. Spiritually, through the story of being a Christian and a Chamoru from the island, lies the power of this analogy, which reveals the patterns of the past intertwined with religion and the lessons of an islander’s journey to survive. Learning the power of Jesus Christ’s ability to survive in the wilderness, and be happy and content with Mother Nature’s gifts of the open land. Is an example of our ancestors of old doing the same: creating a survival mode of fishing in the sea, harvesting, and converging as a tightly bonded clan to survive unforeseen tropical storms. Studies show that the Chamoru people were content and hardworking. As all this has been proven, it leads to our reality of desires in our hearts for living serenely and for being in the land of times of old, and to a time living the journey of Jesus being in the wilderness and of a farmer who simply wants to nurture his harvest. Reflect on and share your thoughts on the times you truly want that serene, tropical island lifestyle. Share your times in which you want to walk in the footsteps that Jesus Christ and the farmer did in the open land? As ambitious life in the mainland has become, I truly regret leaving Guam, nevertheless, I will never forget the power and the glory that God and Mother Nature bestowed on the island, with its rich soil and the simplicity of its culture.  Bendisión
