4th Sunday: Walking Through Lent with Our Creator Scriptural Reflecitons
Read: Psalm 23:1-6* and pray or journal: what word or phrase speaks to your emotion or intellect?
Read: the provided reflection (below) and pray or journal: what speaks to your emotion or intellect and what might you do?
Besides restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul… Whenever the lake near our house is as smooth as glass, I have to pause and admire it; in the midst of busy-ness or boredom, joy or frustration, it refreshes my soul. It’s amazing that God wants to do that for me. And God wants to do that for you too.
It’s easy to take water for granted, especially when it comes right out of the tap whenever I turn it on. I have 6 taps in my house, and for each I can choose hot or cold! Although 71% of the earth is covered in water, it is still important to conserve it in order to divert less from rivers, bays, and estuaries and reduce energy, pollution, and costs to treat, pump, and heat it.
I invite you to join me by trying one (or more) of these water saving tips, and while you’re at it, spread the word! Blessings, Kate
