Growing up on a farm there are things that come around every year and there is nothing that you can do about it. And one of those things deals with the event that we call harvesting. And as we approach the time of December I am reminded that this time of harvest is with us again. I see the bales of hay in the paddocks and am reminded of the bales that I picked up years ago. Back then we did it more by hand but now it is done with machines. Either way I would have to say that it is one thing that I do not miss. Picking up the bales, putting them in the shed. There were times when you would wish that it would all be over. But every year that day would come and there would be no turning away from it.
A thought for you to ponder. Just as we know that seasons come and go, just as we know the time of those seasons, so we may know that one day our Maker will come too. Just as we know that there is no escape from the harvest, so too there will be no escape from the harvest of heaven. And I guess for us each one the question for us all to consider is this. How will the master look upon us on that day? Will we be a part of the crop that is gathered in, or will we be the part thrown out to be destroyed.
Something for us all to consider at this time. Until next time may you each be kept safe in His care.
