They are like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither. In all that they do, they prosper.

"It is good to be around someone who is so grounded." I heard this phrase the other day and I rolled the words around in my head. Grounded sounds rather dull. But then, grounded also means being able to withstand a stiff wind. In electrical terms, it means the ability to take a hit from a bolt of lightning and channel it into the ground away from doing any harm to those nearby. A tree that isn't grounded and near a source of water won't be a tree for long. Being "so grounded" may be cooler than I first thought. Consider what nurtures your roots today.

May we wiggle the toes of our lives deeply into the streams of your living water. Amen.
