"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few." Matthew 9:37

As I listened to the lectionary reading from Matthew 9 this morning at Dayspring Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, via Facebook Live, I had to say "amen" to verse 37. Robert and I had just returned from the garden with the daily harvest — some okra, green beans, squash, and two huge baskets of tomatoes.

We have been able to share the produce with friends, neighbors, Floresville Food Bank, and the San Antonio Mennonite Market. But the harvesting has been left to Two Little Gardeners .

When Frodo later confesses his lack of courage, Gildor Inglorian reminds him that "courage is found in unlikely places."  This year has been one of extreme heat and drought, snow and freezes. The prairie and the plants have suffered. Our world and the people in it are suffering too. It gives me courage to see growing things. God's plan is still at work. Seeds die, are buried, germinate, r...
