God hears

God hears. 

Sees.

And makes a way through the

desert. 

When there seems to be no way.

Cup of water

A cup of water. In debilitating heat, it can mean survival. 

A large clay pot sat beside our gate. Full of water. With cup attached. Ready to meet the need of any passerby. 

Unrelenting sun and desert wind meant dehydration was never far away.

The clay kept the water cool. Even on hot days.

Devotional Memoir

Perspective

In flight, I glance out the window. Plane views offering perspective. Patterns visible from 20,000+ feet. 

As a kid, I begged for a seat by the window. Delighting in views as we gained altitude. 

Watching tiny cars travel small, neat lanes. Between miniature houses all lined up in rows. Rivers curving, shining in the sun through cities and countrysides. 

Fields of various colors appearing so perfectly arranged. In squares and rectangles. 

On clear nights, myriads of lights indicated cities, towns, villages far below. Captivating. Spurring on my imagination.  

Perspective. Flying over the island of Malta.
