PURE JOY AND CONTENTMENT

When you are feeling joy - Dig a Well of laughter

and dancing into your families lives and leave a taste

of the living water in their mind of pure

joy, love and contentment.

When you are feeling sad - Cry your tears of sorrow

before your family and dig a well by leaving the

taste of living water in their mind that your

sorrow can be turned into rejoicing and your

sadness can teach you lessons that will help

others deal with their sorrow.

When you are angry -  Take your anger

and dig the deepest well you can; for

in digging to the depths of the aquifer

it could burst out streams of living water

that flow to deeper places than you ever

imagined.  Anger can produce something

within you that could never burst forth had

you lived your life without experiencing it.

When you are lonely - Take your loneliness

and write something that people can read

and fill the void of loneliness in their own soul. 

Upon doing so, you will have something to read

in your darker moments of loneliness and find

a well to drink from that will help you once

again make it through the lonely times you

are momentarily facing.  

When you are hurting - Realize that hurting

people hurt people; so show your

family how to break that cycle and

start of flow of service and compassion that

not only will fill your soul but bless other

hurting people in the process which starts a

flow of blessings into even more peoples lives.

When you are tired - Hold the handle to your

shovel loose enough that others can take it

and dig awhile.  Allow others to join you 

and enjoy the moment of digging a well

together and that can supply living water

to those who are thirsty.

Doing these things can be difficult but the

rewards of watching the living water flow,

keep flowing, flow deeper, flow further,

and flow wider brings the greatest sense of

contentment a person could ever experience. 

Neither diamonds, pearls, nor all the wealth
of the world  could ever fill the void
in our lives like digging a well and
to enjoy watching the living water
flow back to into our own lives
and into the lives of other people.
 
Pure joy and contentment

can be found in Digging A Well  

May we all have the strength to
keep digging through all of our
experiences in life.
