Is this a picture of stillness and peace, or a picture of headlong motion? What does a fisherman see looking at this river? A kayaker? A fish? You’ve probably heard the saying that you can’t step twice in the same river. But really, no two of us sees the same river, even at precisely the same moment.
How might you see things from another’s perspective today?
This time of year, many gardens are beginning to look a bit crispy around the edges. Surely the rain will fall soon, and spare us the effort of having to water! But sometimes you simply have to take responsibility for watering your own garden.
Sure, there will be moments of deep grace when the rain falls from the sky and you are suddenly, blessedly, refreshed. But more often, it is up to us to make a time and place for our souls to drink deep.
How will you nourish your roots today?
