Scriptures: John 4:36-38 36 The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike! 37 You know the saying, ‘One plants and another harvests.’ And it’s true. 38 I sent you to harvest where you didn’t plant; others had already done the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest.” (NLT)
Nugget: There are so many things that people have done before us where we are now reaping the harvest! They laid the foundation for what we see & have today. Just think of your grandparents & what they instilled in you. Some of our grandparents worked cotton fields, some built up farms, some migrated; the list goes on. But, we are the ones who are seeing the things they didn’t & receiving some of the things they worked so hard for.
Make them proud!!
