Springs of My Youth

Mom, did you know there is a real flowing spring behind our cousin’s house in Ga?”

   The spirit of a barefoot child leaped within me as I replied to my child, “Yes, I often walked there and cupped my hands to drink that water, I like to think that I alone discovered it.”

   The earth is full and plenteous and spins in complete circles. She has rejuvenated the youth of a mother by giving of her never ending flow of water to succour the thirst of my families children. The trees shall rejoice and clap their hands, the hills break free and dance. Truly God is good to Israel.
