JOURNAL/AN AUTUMN HARVEST

GOD'S RICH HARVEST




“Thus have you prepared the land.....and your paths overflow with a RICH HARVEST” Psalm 65 10, 12


HAVE you ever noticed nature? Have you ever noticed the beautiful garden? The beautiful f plants?
The dandelions? The beautiful growth of ALL living things in the SPRING/SUMMER?


I think by noticing other living things-that gives us AN ALL-ACCESS pass to GOD-who ALONE is the creator and SUSTAINER of ALL lining things.


IT is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S never ending/everlasting love for us
























AN AUTUMN HARVEST




OTHER than the people
BOTH family and friends
There is not a lot
That I miss
About living up north


But on my current trip
I was REMINDED
Of just how much
I miss
THE BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN LEAVES


Or AUTUMN HARVEST
If you prefer


“Then he said to his disciples
'The HARVEST is plentiful
But the workers are few


ASK the Lord
Of the harvest-therefore-
To send out workers
Into his harvest field'” Matthew 9:37


On the drive
Down to Maryland from Pennsylvania
My sister, Mary, and I, saw a beautiful harvest of leaves
Red ones-green ones-gold ones-brown ones
-ALL quite a collection-
A beautiful picture
PAINTED BY GOD
Magnified by the crisp golden sun


And in life
The leaves need
To be gathered in
By the working men and women
Or they all pile up
In the cold cold days
Of winter


The people-like you and me
ALSO need to be gathered in
For God


WE NEED
To help God
with the people as they are ready


“Do you not say,
'Four more months
And then the harvest?


I tell you
OPEN your eyes
and look at the fields


They are
RIPE FOR HARVEST'” John 4:35


Autumn harvest
We are alive
RIPE for the picking


NOT DESTINED
To die
In the cold cold days
Of winter


“Let us not
Become weary
In doing good
For at the PROPER TIME
We will reap a harvest
If we do not give up” Galatians 6:9


And like
The different colored leaves
We-God's people-
Are no less different


NONE more important
Or less important
Than one another


“Therefore-as we have opportunity
Let us DO GOOD
To ALL people
Especially to those
Who belong
To the FAMILY OF BELIEVERS” Galatians 6:10


An autumn harvest
OF ALL OF GOD'S PEOPLE


And the harvest-there
WILL PRODUCE
Good leaves-GOOD PEOPLE
Of ALL different types


“No discipline
Seems pleasant at the time
But painful


Later on-however-
It produces a HARVEST
Of righteousness and peace


For those
Who have been trained for it” Hebrews 12:11


The harvest is ready
But the workers are few


BE A WORKER FOR GOD
It is time
For the harvest


THE AUTUMN HARVEST
