Sunday's Blessing

If you remove the yoke from
among you,
the pointing of the finger, the
speaking of evil,
If you offer your food to the 
hungry
and satisfy the needs of the
afflicted,


then your light shall rise in 
the darkness
and your gloom be like the noonday.
The Lord will guide you 
continually,
and satisfy your needs in
parched places
and make your bones strong;



and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,whose waters never fail.  
 
Your ancient ruins shall be 
rebuilt;
you shall rise up the
foundations of many
generations;
you shall be called 
the repairer
of the breach,
the restorer of streets to live in.

Isaiah 58: 9a-12                              Peace. Love, Linda
