My granddaughter is pausing for a needed break from apple picking. It is hard work to harvest apples when it is tough to reach the branches. It took a little help from her mom and great-grandparents.
When pondering a scene like this I wonder what things we value as a society. Do we focus enough on the value of accuracy in big and little things? Do we value education that builds on the knowledge of those before us and tries to avoid the mistakes of the past? Do we value integrity and honesty in working relationships. Do we value looking out for the little guy?
I think we do value these things since they are products of love for God and love for our neighbor. Let’s ponder our real values as we move into the upcoming holiday season.
