HARVEST!

Biblically, harvest symbolizes gathering of both crops and as a spiritual metaphor of reaping results of one's actions 

The earth has yielded its increase; God our God shall bless us.(Psalm 67:6)

Our youngest grand child loved helping her PopPop "harvest" tomatoes for our salads while she visited us. 

Seeing her "recent" harvest on our window sill brought a smile to my face even in the midst of a painful experience.

May we continue to thank God for all our circumstances knowing He can use even the "hard" times to bless us and sow seeds of righteousness in our lives.

MY SHEPHERD---A BESTOWER OF BLESSINGS!

"Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:" (Psalm 23: 6a)

That's BLESSING!

For me, blessings of goodness and mercy are unending, always available  from My Shepherd's hand! 

It all comes from Him. I've done nothing to deserve it. As Scotty Smith reminded readers in his 6/7/25 blog......

 You + nothing is the mathematics of mercy and grace. You (Jesus) lived for us and died for us, and you are now 100% of “our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.”

God, like a shepherd, leads us to beneficial actions with a mercy that encourages us to go the second mile!

A dual blessing of goodness and mercy  will last God's people all the days of their lives is the BEST BLESSING!
