Wanted to share a story from the web.

=======================================

A young man applied for a job as a farmhand. When the farmer asked for

his qualifications, he said, "I can sleep when the wind blows." This

puzzled the farmer. But he liked the young man, and hired him. A few

days later, the farmer and his wife were awakened in the night by a

violent storm. They quickly began to check things out to see if all

was secure. They found that the shutters of the farmhouse had been

securely fastened. A good supply of logs had been set next to the

fireplace. The young man slept soundly. The farmer and his wife then

inspected their property. They found that the farm tools had been

placed in the storage shed, safe from the elements. The tractor had

been moved into the garage. The barn was properly locked. Even the

animals were calm. All was well. The farmer then understood the

meaning of the young man's words, "I can sleep when the wind blows."

Because the farmhand did his work loyally and faithfully when the

skies were clear, he was prepared for the storm when it broke. So

when the wind blew, he was not afraid. He could sleep in peace.
