“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” (Genesis 8:22 (NIV)

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. When we were pastoring a church full time we would have a special Fall Harvest Celebration at our church.

All the children would dress up as Bible Characters, or a pumpkin, or a cartoon character, but no monsters, demons, etc.

We would have a Pot Luck and have Apple Bobbing, and fun games. It was a great time. The home made pies were always delicious. Home made soups and stews showed the pride of all the delicious vegetables that were the last of the years harvest.We always had prayers centered around God’s abundant harvest.

How blessed we are to be able to know God made the Seasons for our pleasure and enjoyment.

He has provided the good soil and seeds that grow into the wonderful foods we eat.

God also has provided for us in other ways, the sun to warm us and to help with the growing of the food we eat, the moon and stars at night to light our way. How glorious are His mighty ways!

Indeed God has a bountiful harvest for each of us, bountiful in his love and the giving of His precious Son Jesus who died on the cross to save mankind.

Thank you Heavenly Father for all your good provisions. We give you all the glory and praise. Amen.
