Friday, May 9, 2025 — Blessed to Be a Wellspring
Weekly Theme: The Heart That Nurtures
Some poured from pitchers,
others from cracked cups —
but still, they gave what they had.
And from their giving,
we learned to flow.
Words of Light
“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.”
— Proverbs 31:26 (ESV)
Reflection
There are women whose hands shaped us —
through words they spoke, meals they prepared, prayers they whispered,
or simply the way they kept showing up, day after day.
They may not have had perfect answers,
but they gave us the best of what they had —
and for many of us, that was love in its purest form.
Some of those women were mothers by birth.
Some by calling.
Some by spirit.
Their love became a wellspring —
a sacred flow that didn’t just quench, but taught us how to give.
How to speak life.
How to mother others.
How to mother ourselves.
And now, we honor them — not because they were perfect,
but because they poured.
And in their pouring,
we became who we are.
- Who are the women who poured into you — seen or unseen?
- How can you honor their legacy in the way you show up today?
Affirmation
I am a living wellspring, shaped by the love of those who poured into me.
Peace,
Rita
