So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested. — Revelation 14:16
In the middle of the Great Depression, my grandfather, with borrowed money, bought a farm. It was a useless tract of land on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. In town they called him a fool. $500 was an outrageous price to pay for 385 acres that would never produce a crop.
"Barker, you’re going to lose that farm," they told him.
His eyes always twinkled when he told me that story.
When I came to live on the farm 28 years later, it was a paradise.
I don’t know what the angels thought when God undertook to redeem the fallen human race, but now God’s day has come. The fields are ripe. Harvest has come.
And I believe, somewhere, there is a twinkle in God’s eyes.
