I think it is safe to say that our spirit sometimes runs a bit dry. Like we try to quench our thirst but no matter what it seems, the liquid is not enough to water the spirit. A rainstorm isn't enough let alone a few droplets. And I think when this happens it's important to find our spirit within another and surround ourselves with rest, a fluffy pillow and good people and good conversations.
It just so happens that others around us may sense the spirit that needs a bit of watering and a sprinkle of humanity because as I met a friend at Panera's today, I asked to get a drink, and I simply got a stare and a "no need to pay." A little confused I looked around me and said, "Why not?" The person at the register simply repeated and said, "no need to pay." Still confused, I inquired, "Are you sure?" The person replied, "Yup. Absolutely." So for those of you who sometimes feel that they have kept their whithered season "secret" I have found that sometimes when our growth is not multiplying, it actually may be quite noticeable to those on the outside. Thank you to the individual today who decided a little sprinkle of water would be given freely today. Thank you for most certainly watering the spirit and more importantly watering the heart with a lot of love.
A little sprinkle of liquid love sure does travel all the way down to the roots when you need it the most.
