”The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few” – Luke 10:2
Sometimes a particular scripture applies so perfectly to a season of my life, that reading it feels like a thump on the head. Well today, as I stand staring at the towering pile of unfinished wood boxes that I will soon turn into simple vessels for treasured keepsakes … I can’t help but repeat this scripture over and over in my mind. The harvest is certainly plentiful! My friends – and my Sweet Lord – are so good to me! Orders for Sacrament boxes are coming in at a crazy fast pace. Which causes me to also reflect on the second half of this scripture … the workers are few! I am humbled EVERY. SINGLE. DAY … that the Lord sees to it that my simple little creations deserve a place in someone’s heart or home. So as long as He provides me with the opportunity and ability, I will find a way to accomplish the work.
Obviously Luke didn’t mean boxes when he spoke of the abundant harvest. He was speaking of the call each Christian has to go out into the mission field … to share the Good News of salvation and redemption through Jesus. But in some small way, I hope my little boxes are helping to spread this message of love and hope.
As always, the pleasure is all mine. And may the glory be all His!
Peace,
