“John 7:38 

New International Version

³⁸ Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”^[a]“

It is here, there and everywhere. It is now an ERA of Generosity and Hospitality. Eric was always that way. Generous. It is a lost art that is making a comeback.

I am moving along, planting seeds for the event to honor my Mom and Brother, and am being struck with hugs, generosity and hospitality. It is not dead afterall. God is reviving it. Not just for me but for all. That is how God works in my life. Sure, I am open to seeing patterns of destruction down to names, dates and motives but God also gifts me with beautiful flowers. This is the River of Flowers. I once painted about it and gifted it to a little girl who kept coming onto my path. Her Mother the same. These children are very special to me as they were the mirror for Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Lourdes, John 3:16, Miracles and so much more. This is full circle in every way.

The Last Word has been spoken, God is telling me. It is now reflecting in my reality. Everywhere I go people are hugging me, sharing heartfelt stories and being so kind.

This is the Promise of God. Joel 2:25, in short. This is my new life. It is one of love from complete strangers but it is because of my heart. I don’t hesitate to bring love into the world and it is finally being reciprocated.

It took me to learn this the hard way though:

“Matthew 7:6 

New International Version

⁶ “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”

in Jesus’ name, Amen.
