This is a daily devotional. It is also a story. And it continues with: The Growing Christian "Love swaddles, her green leaves tightly wrapping the fragile beginnings of the fruit. The growing Christian is but a branch, and a branch that eventually bears the harvest of the fruit. " Of yesterday, for today: This is book two of a four-book story in a daily devotional for raising the barn, mending the fence, rebirthing the harvest, and cultivating the fields, using a collation of observations of the Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, farmland, as told by Sadie Gibble.

Join a farmer, church organist, and the growing of a grandson as they farm together through each of the four seasons of a human soul's spiritual journey in the fields of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. As a spiritual farmer, the reader has already found something relatable in each character. And as each character walks through challenges that are common to us all, each becomes endearing in the search for an answer; or, sometimes, no answer at all as God's plan eventually does unfold, and does so with grace. The series includes 365 touching days with Harry, Sadie, and Sonny as they nurture the joys, trials, and errors using prayer, scripture, and hymns under their own barn star of faith. In this second book, Sonny is a young adult contemplating his future, love and marriage, none of which include carrying on with the farm. Harry and Sadie must once again come to an acceptance: The loss of a son as he matures; the possible loss of the farmland; and their own physical aging brought to life with the maturing of Sonny. "Are we ever prepared?" Sadie asks. "When life has you surrounded by a heavy air of fog where each step is barely seen, we return to the basics: The seed, some soil, and a drop of water."
