In the Midst


 We are in the midst of one of the driest springs in 16 years.  Everything is needing water especially the crops.







In spite of the lack of rain the peonies are blooming.









Even the rose is doing its best to make a show. 

When a drought comes I have found it is best to water well near the root system.  The plants have something to drink under the surface.  Overhead watering tends to just make the roots come to the top and not go deeper.

I too at times have dry periods.  Like plants I need a deeper drink instead of an overhead shower.   

In order to grow and flourish a good root system is needed.  That means being watered deeply is important.

Spending time reflecting on the goodness of God and being grateful for His blessings is what gets me through those arid seasons in life.  It makes my roots go deeper and I get closer to the "Living Water". 


  I know that some of you may be in the midst of a dry time..."keep looking up".

God Bless

" If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.  Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."  John 7:37b & 38 (NIV)
