This is a daily devotional. It is also a story. And it ends with: The Eternal Christian
"The work has been completed, the final instruction given, the Passion, initiated. After the harvest comes silence. And sweet, soft gratitude."
The Eternal Christian begins the moment Sadie asks, "How do I do eternity?"
Of yesterday, for today: This is book four of a four-book story in a daily devotional for raising the barn, mending the fence, rebirthing the harvest, and cultivating the fields, using a collation of observations of the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, farmland, as told by Sadie Gibble. Each day is represented as a field note, which Includes the farms, farm life, gardening, weather, customs and cookery under the magical star of Jesus Christ.
Join a farmer, church organist, and the growing of a grandson as they farm together through each of the four seasons of a human soul's spiritual journey in the fields of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. As a spiritual farmer, the reader has already found something relatable in each character. And as each character walks through challenges that are common to us all, each becomes endearing in the search for an answer; or, sometimes, no answer at all as God's plan eventually does unfold, and does so with grace.
The series includes 365 touching days with Harry, Sadie, and Sonny as they nurture the joys, trials, and errors using prayer, scripture, and hymns under their own barn star of faith.
In this fourth book, Sadie learns how to walk separately, and yet together, with Harry; and find life in a new way by passing her gifts forward, while also contemplating giving her own life back. Sonny and Dolly continue to learn the importance of the farm, and farming and daughter Angel uses the organ music Sadie gifts to her as a stronghold.
And the writing for Sadie goes on: "Ink has a way of teaching, Sadie knows. Especially when it is accompanied by the scent of 'old.' "
This is: Come Winter
