Buckets of Living Water

This has been an interesting past two days.  My husband was gone and guess what happened??  Our outside faucet froze that we connect our water hose to!!  You know, the one we use to water our horses, goats, and chickens??  I could not and still have not gotten it to unthaw.  As I write my husband and oldest son are working on it in the dark!  So, we carried buckets and buckets and buckets of water.  Did you know how much water horses drink a day?  When they are living in a stall without a trough?  Buckets and buckets and buckets.  Why, you can fill their "bowl" up and they will stand there and slurp the whole thing clean before you turn around!  Time to go get another bucket!  We carried 20-25 buckets of water twice a day for the past two days from our kitchen sink.  My back is not feeling too great and boy, am I exhausted!  But, you know what came to me today as I was carrying buckets and buckets of water?  I thought about Jesus and how He will continue to carry buckets and buckets of living water to us no matter how much we "kick up our heels in our stall" or "holler and complain" about the situations we experience.  He is always there.  Always.  We are ever so grateful for His daily dose of living water. 

 

Walking in Faith,

P.S. Hoping to get a water line in the barn real soon!
