Green Leaf Living

  
Jeremiah 17:7-8 – “But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.  He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.   He does not fear when the heat comes; its leaves are always green.  It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

Green Leaf Living evokes thriving, nourishing, fresh, lively images.  It’s the bursting forth of spring after a hard cold winter, a huge shade tree providing shelter from the heat of summer, plants breathing life into an otherwise lifeless room, a gentle rustling by the wind. 

Green Leaf Living paints a picture of a thriving spiritual life.  It’s living that is filled with growth and grace.  Not perfect, not without challenges, but still flourishing amid heat and drought.  Alive. 

Green Leaf Living has its roots in the stream of trust and confidence in the Lord.  With Him there is escape from the sin-darkness of hopelessness and woundedness, negativism and cynicism.  He is always at work and is working everything into something good. 

Green Leaf Living is discovering the adventure of the extraordinary in the midst of our ordinary lives.
