How quickly we turn on the faucet, fill the bathtub or start the wash! Actions that meet our expectations of plentiful water. Something we take for granted, unless we don't have it.
This winter has been hard on all of us and certainly on our homes and community infrastructure. Due to a water main issue on our block this week, we are under a 36-hour "boil order." Yuck!
It's difficult not to reach for the tap, cup in hand, expecting something to drink. So we went to the store and bought some bottled water.

Enter the season of Lent and our thoughts turn toward those who can't just turn on the faucet or fill the tub. In a small way, we experienced what they do not have most days.
We all need water to survive. Clean, available water to drink, to bathe, to clean - even to be baptized. This Lent, we can turn our prayers and efforts toward those who desperately need clean water. Such a simple need, such good work for us. Thank you, God, for the gift of the earth's water.
