The mangoes were having the time of their life in season. The trees, filled with a ripening assortment, spilled their harvest on this highway deep in this forest, even as the birds of the air were having their fill. In the absence of storage facilities over the years, the scene was a repeat of how fruitfulness in season translates to expensive fruitlessness out of season.

?Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.? ? Leviticus 25: 21-22 (KJV)

Don?t give place to the waster.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
