RIO DE LA VIDA


I WHISPER SECRET WORDS OF PEACE EACH TIME I PASS YOU BY

A SONG OF JOY I SING WITH YOU WHEN RAINDROPS FILL THE SKY

I AM FOR YOU A SWEET ESCAPE FROM CHAOS PAIN AND FEAR

I WELCOME YOU TO SIT A WHILE AND LEAVE YOUR BURDENS HERE

I COME FROM SOMEPLACE FAR AWAY YET FURTHER STILL I GO

I FIGHT TO MAKE MY WAY YOU SEE THIS JOURNEYS ALL I KNOW

I'LL SHARE WITH YOU A PART OF ME IT'S ALL I HAVE TO GIVE

SO DRINK OF ME YOU THIRSTY ONE -I AM- THAT YOU MAY LIVE!


Sharing is not just having good manners. It is the kindness of God. A dear friend wrote this to me in a card and gave it to me after I had rested a little while at her home, and we shared some of our hearts with one another. With all thankfulness I must pass it on and share the sweet little things God gives to me as I am passing through. I pray that you take the time to sit a while, listen, be still and reflect on God's faithfulness to you, in you and around you, every day.
