Putting the Word into Action
Some of the things being reviewed by Moses to the next generation of Israelites concerned the blessings of the harvest along with the dietary laws. There are many harvest blessings now of fruits and vegetables to be picked and processed. This is a good time of the year to make a donation to a food pantry or to personally take food to someone who might need it.
