ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER
(Painted at the roaring Vermillion at the mill in Hastings, MN – May 24, 2013.)
Soon water will be falling from the sky in the form of refreshing rain. This gift from God is not only refreshing, but gives a whole new outlook on life as we proceed. There’s nothing like a soak in the tub or a stimulating shower to wash away the grunge of the everyday tasks. There’s something that goes much deeper. The living water provided by Jesus, Christ, God’s own Son, who has washed every sin away.
As rain falls and is absorbed back into the sky, the circle continues,
Until the clouds are emptied and wrung dry.
Fresh, green, new life sprouts around your feet.
Plants are relieved by the necessary quenching.
The power of God’s hand in creation is everywhere.
You feel His touch in the welcome raindrops.
You rush through the torrents and splash into puddles.
The caressing of God’s water washes away all your wrongs.
You have been bathed in His very own love.
Thank Him for His undeserved kindness for you are now clean.

Bathed in his love…oh your words, Mama K. I feel this soothing power and quenching in me; just as this beautiful picture by Paul. I love you and pray daily for you both. Happy Memorial Weekend, Mama.

Have a blessed weekend. Paul is having a day in the dumps today. I have those days too. Thankfully we don’t have them at the same time

Will you give Paul a hug from his “daughter” in MO? I was down about my back, blood pressure, more cancer, yada yada…BUT then God answered two prayers yesterday. My cancer story was filmed and I’ll place in on my website soon. It’s surreal to watch myself on video–and then to run into two people who were such a huge part of my life growing up in church. Full moon, full circles, God will bring all of this into HIS fullness–one day we will praise him, standing together, looking at him face-to-face in our glorified bodies. I can’t wait to hug you!

Just the kind of response I’d expect to hear from my dear MO daughter. Your journey has given so much hope to those in the same boat. Keep on going on. Your positivity is contagious. Love you💕💕💕
