Above is plaque with religious symbols and their meanings. If you enlarge the plaque you sill see it better. These are good symbols for foreign readers to know and copy as needed, especially in countries where religion is suppressed.
This has been a slow day. We had lots of rain last night and off and on today. We are one inch over the average for this time of the year and that is good. A local farmer had such a good corn crop that he set up a stand and gave corn to anyone who asked for free corn or needed it until the abundance was all taken. The world needs more farmers like that.
"Then as I watched a white cloud appear and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man wearing a gold crown on his head and holding a sharp sickle in his hand. Another angel came out of the temple and in a loud voice cried out to him who sat on the cloud. "Use your sickle and cut down the harvest for now is the time to reap; the earth's harvest is fully ripe." So the one sitting on the cloud wielded his sickle over all the earth and reaped all the earth's harvest."
Revelation 14: 14-20
The cutting down of the harvest as well as gathering the grapes is symbolic of the coming judgement of the wicked and the unjust who have snared and doomed the world. Don't be a grain of wheat as in the coming harvest of the Book of Revelation.
THE GIFT OF LIFE
I VALUE THE LIFE
GOD HAS GIVEN ME
IT'S MY LIFE AND I CAN LIVE IT
AS I PLEASE
MY LIFE MIGHT NOT MEAN MUCH
TO SOMEONE ELSE
AND HOW I LIVE IT
IS UP TO GOD AND MYSELF
ONLY GOD GOD KNOWS
THE YEARS I HAVE REMAINING
BUT I INTEND TO LIVE THEM
WITHOUT COMPLAINING
I WILL TREASURE EACH DAY
AND REJOICE IN ITS PLEASURE
PRACTICING HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
AS A MEANS OF MEASURE
I WILL DO MY DAILY CHORES
WITH A SONG IN MY HEART
SINGING GOD'S PRAISES
UNTIL I DEPART
AND WHILE I AM LIVING
OUT MY DISAPPEARING YEARS
I WILL BE GRATEFUL TO HIM
FOR PUTTING ME HERE.
