It's Fall, ya'll. Leaves are turning, wind is chilling and fruit is ripening on the vine. Soon we will celebrate Thanksgiving where we give thanks for all which God has blessed us. But for now, we are bringing in our harvest.
The better part of my day today was spent helping at my church's Fall Festival. We had games, crafts and refreshments for all the anxious tricksters & treat-seekers in our nearby community. I really prefer the homemade outfits to store-bought ones. The imagination & ingenuity that goes into a homemade costume is really quite amazing.
As I watched child after child, parent after parent, come through our doors, I wonder, did I really realize the ripe harvest that the Lord has sown before me? Am I just trying to show them a fun time or am I honestly trying to show them that Jesus loves them and has a plan for them? I sure hope its the latter.
I try to spread His love each day, but I'm afraid my humanity gets in the way at times. I forget that it has little to do with me, really. The Father calls to those that will hear His voice & respond. Blessed little me, once in a while, gets to hold their hand & introduce them. What an awesome thing to do.
If you've heard His voice but never met my Father, I'd love to introduce you. Send me an email, leave a comment or facebook message and I will be thrilled to talk with you. You can also click here to learn more about my Saviour, Jesus.
If you have met Him but have never introduced someone else to Him, I ask, what are you waiting for? People are hurting, people are searching, and you hold the key to their peace. How wonderful to be able to give thanks to God this November for letting you bring one more person to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb?
God is moving all around us. Its time to do our part.
Happy Harvest Time, ya'll.
