Down by the River

What is it about water, especially moving water, that melts away day to day stresses. It soothes my mind, my body and my soul instantly. One thing our family likes to do on occasional Sunday afternoons is drive down to the Mississippi River and rest, relax and play. We've found some great spots where we can throw down a blanket, toss a frisbee and watch the water steamroll by. Everyone can unwind and take it easy for awhile! Jesus says when we feel worried or anxious, to call on him, the living water. As in John 7:37b-38, He says "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scriptue has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." Also, Revelation 7:17 says, "For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Reading these passages puts me at peace at once. These words are like water to my soul- soothing, satisfying and quenching. These words are life and are alive.
*insert deep breath here* Ahhhhhhh!
