Watching the River
Jewell Bolton of Independence, MO, USA
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross. -Colossians 1:19-20
Stillness, meekness
a place of wonder
power moving in ripples of meaning
touching where “my-ness”
transforms to “oneness”
unity with creation
and peace
flowing
with Creator.
Prayer Phrase
I am about to do a new thing, now it springs forth… (Isaiah 43:19).
