"The word of God is a tree of life that offers us blessed fruit from each of its branches. It is like that rock that was struck open in the wilderness, from which all were offered spiritual drink. Be glad then that you are overwhelmed, and do not be saddened because He has overcome you. A thirsty person is happy when drinking, and not depressed, because the spring is inexhaustible. You can satisfy your thirst without exhausting this spring; then when you thirst again, you can drink from it once more."
---Fourth Century poet Ephron the Syrian

God of abundance, help us live today trusting that there will be enough for tomorrow. Your sources have no end. Teach us to share our resources believing that the more we give, the more you will provide for all. Amen.
