A fountain of life springing water

Today, the first day of school... wow where did the summer go? It was a great summer but at the same time, it was a busy summer. Now it is back to the books. I hope to accomplish two thngs... to do well in school and keep up my prayer time with God and time with my friend Rita.
Today, I received a gift. Not your typical expensive in a box gift. This gift came in a bottle. Noooo not beer or wine! It was something that is what we need to survive... Water! NOt just any water.. this water came from Ebenezer. This is the best water on the Island. My best friend, Amy gave it to me compliments of Rita. I was soo happy to get it and very touched at the same time because someone would think of me at such an early time! This gift made my day, along with seeing Amy! This gift of water actually tied in to what I was reflecting on this morning..
"The water thatI shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life" John 4:14
There are many references to water in the NT.. I really like the story of the woman at the well and how she thirst for tha life giving water Jesus had. Oh how I need to yearn for that as well. It is really beautiful that God gives us this water and requires us to let it flow out of us so others can see.
Water is a life giving source and it is something that we require because without it we are dead. We do not want to be spiritually dead. So my challenge today, is that you spread the beautiful blessings God has given you to others and see how beautiful it grows. Never let things get in the way of the flow of God's life giving water
