Soak up life

Jeremiah 17:7-8

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord,

whose trust is the Lord.

They shall be like a tree planted by water,

sending out its roots by the stream.

It shall not fear when heat comes,

and its leaves shall stay green;

in the year of drought it is not anxious,

and it does not cease to bear fruit.

Soaking up the cool water 

of learning

Of affirmation

Of nourishment

The trickle of energy

that penetrates

that feeds

and sustains

Soaking up the cool water 

that calms

and reassures

that goes deep

and keeps on feeding

Soaking up the blessing

of trust

in one

who continues

to provide

feeding

and nourishment

and sustenance

just when we need it most.

Trust

Blessed.
