Harvesters of Jesus (Newsletter 217– 06/10/2017) The Association of the Harvesters of Jesus was established in order to provide the regular daily spiritual needs of the LITTLE EDEN Society. It is firmly believed that without such support, LITTLE EDEN would wither. You reap what you sow! A friend of mine sent this photo to me recently. In the photo taken on Heritage Day, is her baby girl, Zibusiso and her friend Christian from day care school. It goes without saying that the photo speaks volumes, especially in a country like South Africa with such a deep and painful history. It embraces unity in diversity, race, gender, culture. It is beautiful and it’s all thanks to their parents who preserved their innocence and taught them at an early age to see no colour and appreciate diversity. For me, there is a bigger lesson to be learnt and it is not only just about acceptance of different races. It’s raising a socially responsible generation. I am always humbled by parents who bring their young children to spend some time at LITTLE EDEN with people who are often marginalised by their communities based on their disabilities and background. Some parents do not only do this because it’s part of their children’s school project but because there is a lesson to be learnt and certain values to be instilled. It is planting principles of philanthropy, empathy and gratefulness which will raise responsible, loving and caring adults of whom we can be proud. It is through such lessons that leaders are born who will transform our country and the world to be a better place in which to live. N Muthige Daily prayer for the needs of LITTLE EDEN Jesus, Great Harvester, who desires the salvation of all mankind, accept the offering of my life and work in assisting You to help garner the fields for the harvest. Teach me compassion, understanding and love for those most in need. Bless our Association; strengthen the bonds of love and charity amongst us, so that with hearts united we may say "Thy kingdom come". Mary, comfort of the afflicted, pray for us.
