And Receive the Living Water, each day.

The Living Water Moves,

Often Wildly,

And Is Seldom,

though sometimes,

Isaiah 49:10

they shall not hunger or thirst,
neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them down,
for he who has pity on them will lead them,
and by springs of water will guide them.

John 4:15

The woman said to him, ‘Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.’

Hot tea, yes!

Always, no matter what the day will bring or demand of me, I begin with the living Word, the Body of life and hope, and the Blood of sacrificial love.

and

…

Well, it’s a simple, sacred, overwhelming blessing

to start each day so.

How will this day begin for you?
