A Time of Harvest

The days of dying summer heat give way to Autumn’s chill. The crispness in the air is sweet; the moon too full, must spill. The refulgent Harvest moon marks shorter days, longer nights Ending the growing season before harsh, hard winter bites. A time of harvesting, of sending workers to the field, Before winter’s killing cold, to reap the year’s rich yield. The harvest truly plenteous; our bank’s full measure near. Rejoicing in endless blessings, we pray our words He’ll hear. The season’s intense colors complement our Autumn feast. Wreaths of boldly-colored leaves encircle garden and beast. Our love and faith join hand-in-hand to thank Him for these things, Celebrating triumphant hope, and joy, that Autumn brings.

You are getting me in the mood for Thanksgiving... And it's only September... Maybe we can push it up a month this year... Why not? Everything else about this year is different. Lovely penned, Linda. And thanks for that new word, 'refulgent!' ~ Gershon
