Water Water all around

We are fortunate enough to live on a cattle ranch. We love to see the wild life all around us. We have had deer, wild pigs, raccoons even porcupines come into our yard. We never know what we might wake up to see, God’s creations are beautiful. The draw back is our water comes from a well 8 miles from the house and it services all the water tanks for the livestock on its way to us. Yes, we are last. We just spent four days without water while a leak was getting repaired and it made me think of how important water is to us. We need it to sustain life but we also need it for everyday things. It makes our life better. I could go so far as to say it makes me a better person. At least those around me appreciate the fact I now have water. That’s exactly why Jesus said, “but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” We need Jesus for salvation but we need Him everyday of our lives. He makes us better. Like the water we take for granted until it’s gone, we take Jesus for granted. When you drink from the water of life, you become a different person. People around you notice a difference, they notice you act better, live better, love better and, yes, even smell better.
