HEAVY CLOUDS
Today's reading: Ecclesiastes 11-12
"When the clouds are heavy, the rains come down." Ecclesiastes 11:3 NLT
We've wrapped up the harvest season on the grain farm I work for doing bookkeeping.
Blood, sweat and tears have been shed--in an effort to get crops in, cared for and out of the fields and in thanksgiving for a bumper crop, safety and good health during the year.
There have been a few trying times...
Wondering if the rains would stop.
Wondering if the rains would come.
Mechanical failure.
Attempting to procure parts for the mechanical failures.
There were a few days when the rainclouds hung heavily over the farmers heads and hearts.
BUT, the heavy clouds bring the much needed rain!
I am blessed to watch this group of believing farmers continue on, trusting the Lord in all He sent their way.
What a lesson for me.
What a lesson for this thanks-filled day.
