"It is not always for the sower to see the harvest" --Albert Schweitzer
I saw this on a friend's blog--she's a teacher, so that is very applicable. I, being the mom of a missionary, an aunt to three more missionaries, and the daughter/stepdaughter of two more missionaries, of course thought of it's pertinence to missionary work. They may be in one area anywhere from 6 weeks to 9 months, but it really is a short period of time. So I'm guessing that you don't get to see the harvest, or be the harvester very often as a missionary. But the sower is vital to the work, because without a sower, there can be no harvest.

That is a great quote! And my goodness, you are surrounded by missionaries. What blessings!
ReplyDeleteMy prof got really choked up when he quoted that to us. It applies to us as moms, as teachers, as primary workers, etc.
