"We are never left to our own resources. We are never abandoned. A wellspring of goodness, of strength and confidence is within us, and when we listen with a feeling of trust, we are raised up. We are healed. We not only survive but we love life. We laugh; we enjoy; we go forward with faith.

"The living water also nourishes. I testify to you that just as He promises, Christ comes to all who are heavy laden; He gives us rest (see Matthew 11:28). He sustains us when we are weary. A wellspring is a flowing well offering continual refreshment...if we drink of it. Pride can destroy its effects as can mere inattention. Those who drink deeply not only become whole themselves but become a fountain to others as one spirit nurtures and feeds another."

-Kathleen H. Hughes, "Blessed by Living Water," Ensign, May 2003.

Wishing well I x-acto knifed on scratchboard circa 1995. I am really unearthing some old stuff as I pack up the unused corners of our house.
