I am in a Dry Land


'O my Lord, 
I am in a dry land, 
all dried up and cracked 
by the violence 
of the north wind 
and the cold; 
but as You can see, 
I ask for nothing more.  
You will send me 
both dew and warmth 
when it pleases You.'

St. Jane de Chantal

    What a prayer! So humbling...to wait on what the Lord desires to send. The painting is stunning. I can feel the wind, hear the wind and wonder why he left the girl behind? She is beautiful-- and that cape!! Thank you for this beauty and truth this morning....God Bless.

      Thank you. I, too, feel and hear the wind in that painting!
