Nothing like a little inconvenience to bring us some perspective. Thanks, Brittany.

@Sarah Charles – I had that same realization lately when I thought of sending my sponsored kids pictures of us at the pumpkin patch and pictures of the pumpkins we chose to carve. Wait a minute – these kids have very little food and I’m going to send them a picture of me DECORATING with food? Ouch!

Thanx Brittany. Got to see some of those ‘healing-water’ partnerships in the DR– the Lord is doing wonderful things!

Wow . . . powerfully simple post. Thanks for such a practical look at a real problem I constantly take for granted.

Another organization working to get safe drinking water to people in need is Healing Waters International. They work with Compassion and other organizations and churches to install water purification systems in poor urban areas in Latin America. Check them out at http://www.healingwatersintl.org

This is something that is on my heart too. It’s almost gross how we have swimming pools and water parks and some kids don’t even have a cup of clean water and we are PLAYING in it!

I remember when some city workers were doing some construction in our street and I turned on our kitchen sink and it was brown, I was so happy to have coke coming out of the faucet. My mom quickly told me it wasn’t coke and I realized my assumption had been wrong.
