Enthusiastically Loving Water
New Moon Water Meditation
April 21, 2012
Dear Water Friends,
Spring Greetings. Our New Moon Meditation will be Saturday, April 21, 2012.
This month we will be loving
River Severn
in England. The River Severn is the longest river
in Great Britain, at 220 miles.
There has been a long drought in the southeastern part of England, and there is a concern for
the summer farming season.
My prayer with regards to rain is ..."water flows where God wills"
