Dear God:
Today, I am thankful for clean water.
As I scan today's newspaper, I see yet another story about tsunami victims who cannot obtain enough clean drinking water. They queue for hours for a gallon or two of the precious life-sustaining liquid. A woman's desperation, a man's frustration, a child's confusion - the accompanying photographs convey the futility that colors this lose-lose situation.
I study the glass of purified water that I poured just a few minutes ago - a commodity that I take for granted. Suddenly, I feel very fortunate to have the basics of life so readily available to me: food, water, clothing, shelter, good mental and physical health, and hope for a better future. Indeed, I am a very wealthy person.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
