The Gathering Season
Nestled beneath the canopy of turning leaves, the old wagon overflows with pumpkins and chrysanthemums, their rich hues celebrating the beauty of autumn’s embrace. Stacks of hay and dried corn stalks stand nearby, evoking a time when harvest was more than a task—it was a gathering of hearts, a season of gratitude, and a reminder of God’s faithful provision.
“The Gathering Season” is more than a picture of autumn’s bounty; it is an invitation to remember the blessings gathered in our own lives. Just as the earth yields its harvest in due time, so too does God bring forth seasons of abundance and joy, even after days of labor and waiting. The painting whispers the promise of Ecclesiastes 3:1: “To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.”
Here, in the quiet beauty of fall, we are reminded to pause, to gather not only the fruits of the land but also the treasures of memory, faith, and love that sustain us through every season of life.
