What is it about water that makes us feel so refreshed.\u00a0 My husband loves quoting Dave Letterman “I don’t believe there is a man, woman, or child on this earth who doesn’t enjoy a lovely beverage.” Something about water seems to soothe us, refresh and rejuvenate us.\u00a0 Today was the last summer day at the pool for my children.\u00a0\u00a0We have been going 2-3 times a week and they love it.\u00a0 There is nothing boring about a pool.\u00a0 I asked my son today what his favorite part is he said jumping in and swimming underwater.\u00a0 If you have been outside on a hot, humid, \u00a0Louisville day the best thing you can do is get in a pool.\u00a0 Maybe because our bodies are made up of water that’s why we are so attracted to\u00a0it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Whose breath is not taken away by the above picture\u00a0or a seascape? Is there any adult alive who doesn’t feel better after they have taken a good shower?\u00a0 Water can cleanse us and wash all the dirt away and make us feel clean and fresh.\u00a0 Water when you hear it lapping against a dock or waves crashing against rocks can put your mind at ease.\u00a0 Water has so many powerful uses to it.\u00a0 How often have you given your little ones baths and they have so much fun in the water they don’t want to get out.\u00a0 Water is used as a plaything also.\u00a0 Have you ever poured water out infront of one of your children when he\/she was a toddler and watched as his\/her fat little hand tries to grasp it before it falls to the ground.\u00a0 Although they never do anything but touch it and they fail to grasp it, they continue to try to catch it and hold it.\u00a0 That’s somewhat like my faith I feel like I can touch it but I can’t always grasp it’s complete meaning yet I endlessly try to catch it and hold it within me.<\/p>\n

The Samaritan Woman<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Jesus answered and said to her\u00a0 “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again;\u00a0 but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”\u00a0 The woman said to him “Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw the water.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

John 4: 13- 15<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The woman is like each of us thirsting for the fullfillment that water gives us.\u00a0 To quench a thirst on a hot day, to sooth our minds , to refresh, renew and rejuvenate our weary bodies.\u00a0 To enable\u00a0 us to play and feel cooled by it’s very touch.\u00a0 To cleanse us of our mistakes and dirt.\u00a0 We are each thirsting and grasping trying to find that thing in life that will fulfill all those needs to quench it all.\u00a0 Maybe the\u00a0Living Water is God just maybe we have been looking in the wrong places instead of looking at\u00a0the possessions of this world we need to seek true fulfillment by seeking God “but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next time you experience water, which will be sometime today because we cannot live without it, \u00a0think of\u00a0\u00a0how your deepest thirst can truly<\/strong><\/em> be quenched.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
