How cool was that; snow every where. On Tuesday night the whole of Whitby was covered, what an awesome sight. THANK YOU LORD!
With great enthusiasm, little kids eyes lit up while they made snowmen and hurled snow balls at each other, maybe for some the very first time.
Mind you, there were big kids doing likewise.
You only had to look at Facebook to see the merriment. (Snow canoeing; what next!).
Unfortunately, the rare occurrence has now come to an end, the snow washed away by rain and sporadic bursts of warmth from the sun. Will Whitby ever be white again?
My prayer is that our enduring memory won’t be the snow we harvested into man- size figures, but the reaping of the people into God’s glorious family.
Jesus‘ disciples returned from gathering food and found Him talking to a Samaritan woman; an unusual event in Jewish history, rare like snow in Whitby. The disciples, setting aside their thoughts, implored Jesus to eat. However, Jesus‘ thoughts were not on food, but the fields of white.
John 4:34-36: Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplishHis work. Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.”
We don’t have to wait for snow to think about the fields of white. It‘s all around us. The only thing that‘s needed is believers to work the harvest.
