Don't know what you got til it's...
Dad told me that at the moment our dams are running at 40%. At the beginning of this year they were around 60%. If it gets below 30%, we will only get water every second day.Every second day?!? What about showers (esp with summer coming along)? What about washing dishes? What about flushing toilets?
I have enjoyed the privilege of instantly accessible running water my entire life. I remember at school, sometimes they had to switch off the water supply while the plumber was fixing things, and those 3 hours would be the worse 3 hours in the whole school term. I'd go to the toilet and things would be overflowing. Everything smelt awful. I'd turn on the tap without thought, place my hands under only to feel... nothing. Oh yeah that's right, the water's off.
How fortunate and spoilt we are. How much I've taken this life-essential gift for granted. I've never had to fetch for water, never had to buy it, never had to go without it. I've never considered life without a flowing tap.
Lord please let it rain, so that the drought will ease. I thank you that I've never had to go thirsty, and I pray for those who are parched right now.
