It is that time of the year when harvesting of gardens and farms are in full swing. From the farms, the corn and wheat are coming off the fields. In backyard gardens, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and the like are all being picked for the last time of the year. While gardens and farms are plentiful, so are the amount of references to the harvest and planting in the Bible. This is no real surprise as the majority of workers of both times in old and new testament were farm workers.
One particular reference is from Paul’s letter to the Galatians about continuing to do good: (Galatians 6:9-10) Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
We have done such a wonderful job in doing good for our community and I wish to express my gratitude to you all. The letter from Paul urges the Galatians not to give up on what they do even when it seems overwhelming and I urge you the same.
I know I have shared this story before but it bears witness to the power of not growing weary and continuing to do good.
The Star Thrower: A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement. She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference for that one!”
Continue to make that difference each and every day.
