Clean Water




I watched a young woman emerge from her tent after a brief rain shower. She was holding a water pitcher in her hand. She then began to scoop the water off the top of the tent that was caught in a small intentional fold. This water was precious. She poured it into a large bucket. Earlier I saw small children being bathed by the roadside in small trenches that again held water after the rain. I take clean, fresh water for granted... but when you don't have it, life is consumed obtaining it We were able to hand out hundreds of very simple water filtration units. They were so lightweight that any of us ladies were able to carry them and put them together. With simple care, they last a life-time! It was such a privilege to be part of a blessing and to literally give a cold, clean cup of water! Matthew 10:34
