Photo Journal: Reaching

A friend's son, reaching by Carla.

What are you reaching for?

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,declares the Lord.
As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.
~ Isaiah 55:8,9

Coffee from a dinner in Portland, Maine, by Carla.

Pour yourself a cup of grace.

"And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."  ~ 2 Corinthians 9:8

Resevoir, Rehoboth, Massachusetts, by Carla.

“One would be wise to see themselves not merely as a channel, but a reservoir.  For a channel simply transmits something from one place to another, without retaining a drop for itself. While a reservoir first, fills itself up, and then, without losing any of what it has, waters the fields it is meant to water.  - St. Bernard of Clairvaux

John 15, “. . . apart from me you can do NOTHING.”

If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
~ George MacDonald, 19th century author and theologian
