Good work is hard work, but harvest awaits

“Let’s not get tired of doing good, because in time we’ll have a harvest if we
do
arrived there in 1965. Today, I live in Visalia and make the drive at least five days a week to Dinuba to minister as the new lead pastor at Dinuba Mennonite Brethren Church. I am happy to be part of this city!
Growing up on a vineyard I know something about reaping a harvest after seasons of not giving up. My family grew Thompsons, which we turned into raisins in the same way I’m seeing it done around Dinuba today. From pruning and tying the canes in winter to irrigating and weeding and succoring in the spring and summer to spraying and picking and turning
and rolling and boxing at harvest, there are plenty of opportunities to “give up”. Especially for a kid.
Field work like that is tiring. So is working the line in a factory, tackling a mound of homework, cleaning a house
Arrests
or business, making a sale, or managing the finances of a business. In all these ways and so many more, it helps our motivation to not give up if we look ahead to the “harvest”. That “harvest” may be a paycheck, a scholarship toward a college education, a promotion, or the satisfaction of a job well done. It might be the pure enjoyment that comes after the hard practice of learning to play an instrument or to speak a new language.
The Bible verse at the top of this article suggests that we can get tired of other things besides hard work. “Don’t get tired of doing good,” it encourages us, because there will be a harvest if we don’t give
up. What does that look like? It looks like patience with others in line at the store, kindness to share a meal with an elderly neighbor, generosity in supporting the transformative ministries of Open Gate, or simply refusing to label a stranger before extending your hand and a smile. We can grow tired of doing such things if we don’t see it making a difference.
Communities like Dinuba recognize the economic benefit of good harvests. We see great value in the economic return of
our industries and the service sector. Hard work by those in our local
and county government make our lives easier and safer. Do we recognize the benefit of simply doing
good to each
In’t give up.” Galatians 6:9
may be new to Dinuba, but I’m not new to the central valley. Kingsburg was my hometown since my family

other? It’s often not until we face common difficulties, like
the towns along the east coast are facing with Hurricane Florence, that we see the “harvest” of our good deeds.
I am finding a Dinuba where we care for and respect each other. Let’s not get tired of doing that for each other. And let’s not wait until difficulty comes to recognize and celebrate its result.

The Rio Limpio: Tule River Stewardship Project wraps up the 2018 season! Through support from Rivers Network, Patagonia, U.S.F.S., and CA Wildlands Grassroots Fund, six volunteers’ events over four months resulted in trash and gang tagging removal, trail repair, and increased personal responsibility by river recreationists – all delivered by hundreds of statewide and regional volunteers who are concerned about river health and committed to do something about it.
A final event will be held on Sept. 23rd from 9 a.m. until noon (with lunch provided 12 noon - 1 p.m.). Volunteers are needed for this final event and celebration of our wild and scenic Tule River. Volunteers meet at the Veterans Memorial Park in Springville at 9 a.m.
Upon completion, volunteers receive free tickets to the upcoming WildPlaces’ Wild and Scenic Film Festival on Nov. 9th to be held at the WildPlaces satellite office in Fresno at Bitwise Industries.
The 2018 summer events and the Sept. 23 Clean-up commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Wild and Scenic Act (WSR). Passed in 1968, the Act offers protection and acknowledgement to

rivers (or sections of rivers) that remain free flowing and possess high quality scenic, wildlife, cultural, and recreation characteristics. The Act protects 12,754 miles of 209 rivers in 40 states, including sections of the Kern River.
Sections of the Tule River qualify for WSR designation as well. With proper understanding of the Act, few can deny its benefit to river health. It is far better for all that the river remains clean, free flowing, and a scenic highlight that attracts tourist dollars. WildPlaces intents to further explore designation of the Tule River as a WSR and invite public participation in this process.
The Rio Limpio: Tule River Stewardship program is a watershed-wide community effort of WildPlaces to keep the Tule River safe, clean and open for all to use. WildPlaces is a volunteer- driven organization whose mission is to restore and protect the wild and rural places in the southern Sierra Nevada. Learn more about WildPlaces, volunteering, attending the Wild and Scenic Film Festival, and participating in Wild and Scenic River designation at info@wildplaces.net or by calling 539-5263.
