A Lenten Devotion by Ginnie Hatch
Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. They shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
“Planting a Garden is believing in tomorrow” is quoted on my linen calendar for 2020.
Planting a tree is also for many tomorrows.
As gardens and trees need to be nourished so do parents and teachers nourish children’s minds for the future so they will grow and bloom and mature.
The roots of faith often run deep, often going back for generations who read the Bible and offered prayers in times of joy and sorrow and worry. These roots continue to nourish us on a daily basis.
Thank you God for nourishing us.
Blessings to my church family, my neighbors, relatives and family here and around the world. We all need you.
