Water...

Our family is experiencing a challenge due to the saturated ground. Our septic is not draining as fast as it usually does. We had the tank pumped in December. So, we are implementing measures to minimize water usage and water input into the septic tank.

Some reflections...

We use A LOT of water! I know that, because we have containers in our sinks and catch the water to be thrown outside rather than allow it to go down the drain. This exercise has surprised me as to how much water we use in the course of a day!

I am so grateful to have running, clean water. And am so aware that this is not a reality that lots of people in our world have. Also, our water comes to us, we don't have to go get it from a well or some other community location, which is a blessing and unlike the experience of many in our world.

While this situation has been a challenge for us, it has also made us aware of something so simple that we take for granted too much. Our family will be making some efforts to consume less and to support causes like Living Water that work to provide clean water for all God's people. Join us in this effort!
