Note: Refer to day number 1 (July 25, 2015 post) if you don’t
know what this is all about.
No water. Imagine, it’s winter and the pipes in your home have
burst. This is a costly repair and one of the biggest inconveniences ever. So—what
are you going to do? Stay in a hotel for awhile? Try to find someone to stay
with for awhile? Or…you’re one of those big shots that have the money to
have this taken care of with the quickness? Regardless…water is one of those
needs that we tend to take for granted. I need to boil some eggs—I turned the
knob on that faucet and fill my pot with water. I need to bathe—I run water in
the tub or turn on my shower (and I always get the right temperature without
having to heat water on a stove). Whatever my need for water—it’s always at my
disposal, even if I want to BUY drinking water, I have that option. No going
out and pumping and packing pails of water back home like my mother did in her
youth. No digging wells for water or having to deal with contaminated water as
many still deal with today in other parts of the world. Water is such a great
necessity, yet I/we don’t give it a second thought because it’s so readily
available to us.
