Are YOU Dripping?

What more, you may ask, do we want? Ah, but we want so much more- something books on aesthetics take little notice of.  But the poets and the mythologies know all about it.  We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough.  We want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become a part of it.  ~ CS Lewis

We who are of Christ ARE it!  When we spend time with the Father, He soaks us in His bounty, lets us feel the beauty that He created us for.   Just as a child is set gently into a warm tub, drawn especially for the purpose of cleansing.  So to for us.
 As we go about the day our bucket spills out, leaving drips, splashes, of His beauty, fullness of  lave, and magnitude of His goodness, everywhere we go.  Drawing others to see what this refreshing substance is,  and cleansing the vessel it is carried in.

I encourage you Dear one to take time with the Father today!

The Weight of Glory and other Addresses - CS Lewis
