The harvest truly is plenteous,
but the labourers are few;

Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”

Thank you Sandra for sharing your trip! I have loved traveling vicariously through you. =)
Hi Sandra,
I was thinking of you while I was falling asleep last night and just wanted to say I'm praying you had a safe trip home and are safely snuggled in the US now. Can't wait for more updates! 🙂

hugs to you xoxo
What a fascinating trip you must have taken!
Came to you via Maryam in Morocco
Goodness~ that is so much work, Sandra! I remember when I was a little girl my daddy use to keep the brush next to the wooods cut back with a sickle… it used to wear me out just watching him!
Love the scripture!
That is a good harvest and hard work!
I love your Romanian photos too! I will be back to study them more!
Thanks for posting a comment on my blog!
Smiles, Cyndi
We forget the actual harvesting is a back-breaking job whether it is harvesting wheat, crops, or souls. Back-breaking it may be, but rewarding beyond measure, especially when one considers eternity.
What a special Sabbath Keeping this is. Your trip has been amazing. My fave is that the spinner thinks your spinning is not handmade, but "with a machine." If she only knew….
Beautiful images, Sandra.
Traveling Mercies to you,
Dawn
I have certainly enjoyed your trip through your writings. You reminded me today to take the time to sharpen my tools BEFORE i start any work. good thoughts
I love following along on your trip with you!
Really natural hard work like 100 years ago in the Bavarian Forest, where I live…
Just beautiful, Sandra. Love your pictures of your trip. Feel like we are there with you. Hope all is well with you both.
