faith, will, and work's reward
FAITH, WILL & WORK'S REWARD
When rains portend, those faithful farmers, who, having taken due notice, rejoice. These are they who have earlier made ready their fields by work to receive its wet bounty into their expectant furrows.
These will have already sown their seed in fallow soil in anticipation of this blessing. This divine blessing affirms the link with, between, God and man. This liquid blessing is the quintessential pairing that confirms the connubial bond between heaven and earth; which is irrefragably present in patterns over the earth: faith, will and work.
Rain and work will reward the faithful. And have and do in season.
