Have you ever taken water for granted? I understand that there are places throughout the world and even in the U.S. where the water sources are contaminated and unfit for consumption.
I must admit though that I often take water for granted. I can buy it or drink it from the filter in my fridge.
Can you imagine, though—-filthy water with all types of nastiness in it? When I think about it, and what the people of Haiti are going through at this moment regarding their contaminated water, I just pause and say Lord, have mercy!
If people do not get clean water, there could be epidemics of water-borne diseases that could greatly increase the death toll. But the US is now sending 10,000 troops and seems to be prioritizing “security” over much more urgent, life-and-death needs. This in addition to the increase of 3,500 UN troops scheduled to arrive.

I believe that from this moment forward I will no longer take water for granted. I vow to drink more of it since I am blessed with its availability. So much to be thankful for. I pause to thank God for water!
