Waters of Marah
Bitter; people miss sugar
Made sweet by our God.
Leola Durant
Exodus 15:22-25
So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah. 24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25 So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet.

I am a Christian who believes in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I also believe that Jesus will soon return to this earth.
If the Caterpillar can undergo a transformation, going from crawling to flying we too should be capable of accomplishing much more. We just have to attach our wings in the right place. The Caterpillar uses the Milk Weed as its host, its source for food. We too have a "Host" and He also provides us with an abundance of food. If we would use the fuel from this food (scripture) effectively, we too would be able to fly. Our "Minds" can be freed from all burdens and stress.
We can more easily be lifted up when we allow God to be our Host. He would continually feed us. God through His word can teach us how to fly...if only in our thoughts, if only in our minds.

This is interesting.
It reminds me of the tidbit that when a young Jewish boy begins learning to read so as to study the Torah, he is given a spoonful of honey so that he will forever associate sweetness with God’s word.
At least, that’s what I’ve been told.
Maybe this is where it came from 🤷♀️ when the children of Israel was in the wilderness this is what took place. Though the water was sweet I just added the ”sugar” bit because of the Haiku Challenge.
