Sunday Reflection: The Harvest
There is something sacred about this time of year, the time of harvest. Jesus told a lot of stories that involve a harvest, and there is a reason for that-- in a society that depends on agriculture, it is when the payoff happens.
I do love Autumn. It has always seemed like the most spiritual of seasons, as the easy days of summer fade and the challenges of the rest of the year arise. Because most of my life has been on the academic calendar, it is also the time to start anew with new students and new classes, often with new colleagues.
It is, really, the time of the year that I find it easiest to feel close to God and my fellow people. So, let's celebrate the harvest!
