From Bitter to Sweet

A Community of Love    Exodus 15:  22-27

Prayer for the Day:
Creator God, we are blessed with sweet water that flows from you to our spirits. It quenches the bitter thirst we have from aches and pains that only you know of. We remember those affected by too much and too little water; and we pray that they may quench their bitter thirst with the sweet water you give to us, and to all. Amen.

Question for reflection:
Have you ever been in a situation when something scarce was ‘sweet’ but when it became abundant was ‘bitter’?
