Harvest & Planting Time

The farmers are busy working in the fields and we pray for their safety. We also pray for the crops that have not been harvested yet, that God will bless them with favorable weather and moisture. In this area, the corn is about ready to be harvested and the beans and milo are coming along as well. It will also be time to think about planting the seed wheat. This last weekend I have the opportunity to bless the seeds in my three parishes. I also made my services available to go out and bless fields. I have blessed a couple fields, along with a truck full of seed, and that truly means a lot to the farmers because they know how challenging their vocation is. They do all the prep work, plant the seeds, and harvest the crops, but what occurs in between takes great faith and trust. In everything we do, we rely on God to provide and He does, maybe not in the way we expect at times. From year to year, we don't know what the weather will be like so we pray as individuals and as a church community that God will bless our land, our fields, and our crops with the right weather and the proper moisture to nourish and nurture the seeds along. With God's love and grace, we will collect an abundant harvest and bear much fruit! God Bless You!!!
