Noon Prayer at Harvest Theodor Schuz painting of Noon Prayer at harvest reminded me of Little House on the Prairie‚ by the time frame the painting depicts to me that it’s from and by the way the family is dressed.

I’m expecting to receive a great impartation from the Lord at this Clarion call of Prayer that the Lord has preordained and summoned many from near and far.
