It is easy to take in more and more spiritual truth, but leave nothing behind for others to glean. We may possess pages\u2014even entire notebooks\u2014filled with things that have inspired us, but sadly we have never shared them with others.<\/p>\n<p>I remember as a young teen when our family lived in southern Idaho. Someone told us that when farmers harvested onions for seed they often dug up the bulbs and dumped them in the sagebrush. Many evenings found our family sniffing out the air and &#8220;gleaning&#8221; huge piles of onions. We quickly learned how to use them and freely shared them with our friends.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes as we study the Bible we may find the spiritual food that has been left behind for us.\u00a0\u00a0After we have \u201cgleaned\u201d the truth of God\u2019s Word, we must leave some along the edges and in the corners of our life for others who need to be fed.<\/p>\n<p>Blessings dear hearts.\u00a0\u00a0May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; &#8211; Pastor Cecil\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leviticus 19:9-10 \u201cWhen you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
