This song by Marc Cohn touched me for its storytelling and its lovely musical melody. It captures the essence of this river of life for us, with a bit of sadness... but with that I am awakened to the contrast of the need for joy. I have been hearing again and again how we need to tap into the presence of God for our daily nourishment. When I hear a message I bring it here to share for you. If you feel weary sometimes, if your life today is burdened, take a moment to ponder that one day, there will be rest for the weary. Not just the promise of what awaits us in the coming kingdom, but remember we can tap into the Presence of God today, by walking in the son. Never forget the promise of what awaits us, but pay attention today to The Present - The gift of the Son, the Spirit and his presence... and take a walk in the sun.
