Pouring

sweet Lauren
Mississippi State Graduation Day

"As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God." (2 Timothy 4:6a)

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! came the late night text message from Lauren letting me know that she wouldn't make it to Bible study this week and thanking us for investing in a younger generation. We should thank her - a rookie schoolteacher pouring life and truth into high school students.

Like a cascading waterfall, generations pouring into the one below. Are you pouring, beloved?

"From the heights we leap and go

To the valleys down below,

Always answering to the call,

To the lowest place of all.

These are the Falls of Love."1
