Living Waters

“Come to me, all you who are struggling hard and carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.
Put on my yoke, and learn from me.
I am gentle and humble.
You will find rest for yourselves.
My yoke is easy to bear, and my burden is light.”     —-Jesus.
 (found in Matthew 11:28-30, CEB)

What a gift to spend 24 hours at Living Waters Retreat in Delmar, MD!  The waters of Leonard Pond lap lightly at the edge of the yard, a piece of art looks like the Holy Spirit on the move, and there is a quiet nourishment in the calling of the birds and the sun glinting on the water.  Being gifted a time away during the Lenten Quarantine made us both feel a little guilty, as we know not everyone can have the same respite.  We are grateful for the rest and reprieve, even though our time was cut short by the governor’s new requirement to stay home.

Biked 12 miles through the DE-MD countryside!
