Spiritual Refreshment
Spiritual refreshment. Does that sound appealing? Let's face it, life becomes dry at times, yet living water is ever available in God's presence and through the Word. When we become hungry or weak from lack of nourishment, God promises food which satisfies, spiritual refreshment for the soul.
This page serves as a gateway for the spiritual refreshment articles on this site. Most are written as meditations on Scripture. You'll gain the most from these by reading them alongside an open Bible. You may prefer to print them so that you can ponder them away from the computer as you pull away to meet with God.
As you seek refreshment, I encourage you to grasp hold of this promise:

Camas Lilies
Lynn Ungar
Consider the lilies of the field,
the blue banks of camas opening
into acres of sky along the road.
Would the longing to lie down
and be washed by that beauty
abate if you knew their usefulness,
how the natives ground their bulbs
for flour, how the settlers' hogs
uprooted them, grunting in gleeful
oblivion as the flowers fell?
And you--what of your rushed and
useful life? Imagine setting it all down--
papers, plans, appointments, everything--
leaving only a note: "Gone
to the fields to be lovely. Be back
when I'm through with blooming...."

Quote of the Week
Listening creates a holy silence. When you listen generously to people they can hear the truth in themselves, often for the first time. And when you listen deeply, you can know yourself in everyone.
