Recalling words from the Lord, standing at the edge of a rain-showered pond with Judith. We prayed, we gave thanks, thanks for the life-force within us, thanks for every drop of water, and He responded:

            Everything is alright and safe for you.

(I knew that the “you” was plural, meaning Judith, our children, our animals, our families, in an ever-increasing circle of our loved ones)

            You cannot yet see all the ways I have provided for you and protected you, and there are many things which you do not need to know of now.

            I am providing, for I have the vision. What does scripture say, child?

“Lean not on my own understanding, Father.”

            Lean in to Me, for I have you. I will never stop providing.

            I am moving for you, even moving that which you cannot see. My promises are true. Do not be afraid, do not fear.

            I know every piece of all your circumstances. What you have is safe, not ‘perfect’, good, and for a time, not forever.

About thirty minutes later, He was gently reminding me of the words so often spoken by impatient children to their parents: “But, you don’t understand!” And he was gentle when he concluded:

            Imagine how I receive these words from so many. Look at me now, child and tell me what I do not understand.
