Living on islands, we can see water everywhere.
It seems the water goes on and on forever.
You can't see the end of it while walking along the beach
or up in the plane during the14 minutes that it takes to get to the next island.
With so much water everywhere...
I was interested in a little sign above the sink
in the hotel in Boa Vista.
Look at the English paragraph on the bottom.
"It's so hard to find it..." ('it' being WATER!)
WHAT?! How can that possibly be?!!!
Because some water gives and protects lives and some doesn't,
But, to look at it on the surface, there is no way to tell.
Again, I was drawn to the scripture about 'Living Water'
Without all of the 'extras' (pictures, props, chalk boards, posters) I am always amazed at the attention
children give to the plain and simple words of the scriptures.
Like these little ones, I love to search deeply for the living water
that truly quenches our thirsty souls.
The 'kind' of water that always comes at a cost
...and
with life more abundantly.

LOVE!
gorgeous pictures and words - as usual. I love you!!!
I remember Dan talking about the lack of water and thinking it was crazy! I love how you draw the parallels in this article. I will definitely use this in one of my lessons.
