Genesis 2:8 and 15
(This funeral message was built around Paul Harvey's homespun homily on farmers entitled ''God Made A Farmer'' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRDaPEaDJ7E. The funeral home played Paul's Harvey's speech just before the message)
God made a farmer. In Genesis 2:8 and 15 we read that ''... God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, ... and there he put the man whom he had formed. ... and God put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.''
God Made A Farmer. In fact, the very first man that was ever created... was a farmer. Paul Harvey said it this way: On the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ''I need a caretaker'' So God Made A Farmer.
Paul Harvey had a way with words. He spoke of farmers as men who got up early and worked all day. They planted crops, bailed hay, wrestled with machinery, milked cows, cleared out stones and weeds and whatever else from the fields. And worked hard at raising crops and kids.
And (Harvey noted) if such a man was fortunate, he had neighbors who respected him and counted on him and he had a family who loved him... and knew HE loved them. And that was Gary...
He was hard working farmer a man who did much of what Paul Harvey described. On top of that, he worked 2 jobs, so he could supply for your needs. And he had blessings in life that many men fail to attain. His neighbors liked him and respected him - he knew just about every farmer in the area, and most people knew who he was. In fact, when some members of the church heard that he had died, they asked if he was the man who'd been the Fire Chief in Clymers. They knew him. And they respected him.
But more importantly, he had a family who knew he loved them. You learned your work ethic from him. You honored him by how you've lived your lives. And... there's no question you loved him.
God made a farmer. God made the first farmer in Adam (pause) and ...
