Harvest

"Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy."
-Psalm 126:5

~ ~ ~

Those who sow in shadow and rain
Reap in laughter and light
Gathering in where once they had scattered
Hope is Harvested
Souls ignite

The once barren fields bequeath a banquet fit for royalty
And yet the King bids you and I
“Come to the table!  Dine with Me!”

Hearts that were hard, dry as the dust
Parched and completely past feeling
Are filled to the full
Quenched and made whole
An Epilogue of Healing

Beautiful and I love the photo - that could have easily been the scene here in east central Illinois last night - it was gorgeous out under the moon and corn. :)

I feel DRENCHED in hope
in the reading of this:
..."quenched and made whole".

An Epilogue of Healing!

I love, love, love this.
And the photo...evokes feelings
I can't even find words for
when woven into these beautiful
words.
Breathing deeper and easier now....
