Welcome!



I finally decided to do an in-depth study of Oswald Chambers’ “My Utmost for His Highest” because my husband recommended it without reservation. My husband is very intelligent and well read and, while I am no slouch in those departments, I usually prefer lighter fare. “My Utmost for His Highest” is anything but light, so as I read each daily devotional, I process it through my poetry. The purpose of the book is to help people to get closer to God and I really want that closer relationship. I want to share my unique perspective on each day’s selection plus some of my other poems and insights.

September 3 - Pouring Out the Water of Satisfaction

Lord,
So many times these last few weeks
Your love has been displayed,
By my friends and family
In a myriad of ways.

They give so much so selflessly,
Undeserved by me, no doubt,
So I take the love they've shown me
And to You I pour it out.

That love is like clear water,
Refreshing to my soul.
Channeling it from me to You
Makes my satisfaction whole.

I can see where spiritual growth could be stunted if blessings and love are hoarded and not processed to God through my life.  Some days I can feel the "living waters" flowing through me because I am so blessed by the generosity around me.
