Teaching Fall Like Rain...

Let my teaching fall like rain
    and my words descend like dew,
like showers on new grass,
    like abundant rain on tender plants.

~ Deuteronomy 32:2 (NIV)

Well-Nurtured Plants

May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars
cut for the structure of a palace; (ESV)

Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,
and our daughters will be like pillars
carved to adorn a palace. (NIV 1984)

~ Psalm 144:12
