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!

agree lynn…Going to start being consistent with getting in my 64 ounces per day…
I’m telling you!
Water is just one of the things that we as Americans take for granted. The biggest worry that most Americans face on a daily basis is not whether or not they will eat, but exactly what they FEEL like eating. I know personally that the amount of food that gets thrown out in the trash from my home is horrendous. We are truly blessed!! Lynn you are absolutely correct, clean drinking water suddenly takes on a whole new meaning after looking at those poor children in the posted picture.
