Water

(Photo taken by Ashley for photography class)

Water is something we take for granted. You can turn on the kitchen faucet and out comes water. It is a luxury and something that we don't even think about until you do not have it. Our water pump is broken and we do not have running water into the house. The city water from the street comes into a large holding tank in the back of our house and then the pump turns on to bring it inside. Right now, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the technician to bring the repair parts. We have been bringing water in the old fashioned way--using the "bucket brigade" system. Washing dishes yes, but not washing laundry or taking showers. At least we still have jugs of drinking water. This experience was a reminder of our primary purpose for being here. Many people are spiritually thirsty and looking for answers. It is our responsibility to share with them the "Living Water".
