The Harvest is near!

As always, I am so amazed by God's goodness....

This time last year, we were already into triple digit temperatures
and we had had a very dry winter, and the possibility of rain
was not in the forecast.

The crops withered, the grass died, and the fruit trees did
not produce.

Yet, this year God has blessed our land and given us the
measure of rain needed to replenish our fields and yards
and water tanks.

You can see the results all around us....
Fields green with promise, trees full of small beginnings of
fruits and nuts.
Vegetable stands teeming with the rewards of spring and the
promise of a great fall harvest....

I mentioned to my husband my excitement and hope for a
good harvest from my three pecan trees this year.

Wow, immediately God spoke to my heart of His anticipation
of a "Great Harvest" too.....
I like to think he longs for our "Homecoming",
but,  Loving Father that He is He wants not one lamb left behind.

I believe with all my heart that the end of  the age is close at hand,
the signs are all around us.  The earth is trembling with
anticipation...yet most refuse to see....

We should be tidying up our orchards, chafing the wheat from
the tares, making sure our gardens are ready for
the "greatest harvest" of them all...when God sends His
son Jesus to bring His children Home!


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
