Praying for Water


Each house has 1 or 2 water tanks that hold between 2000 - 3000 gallons of water in each. We rely on the rain to fill these tanks for our daily needs of drinking water, water for the shower and toilet, water to wash dishes, and anything else that comes up. We are suppose to be in the wet season - but someone forgot to tell God this. We have had quite a dry spurt for the past 2-3 weeks. We get an occasional rain, but not enough. As a result, the 2 water tanks that I share with the McCoys are about empty (total of 5000 gallons). Today I was noticing that the water pressure was quite low, so I called next door. Through further investigation, the McCoys discovered our tanks are about dry. Thankfully, Bill was able to divert some well water into them, but this won't last long. So we are now praying for rain, and ask that you would do the same as we try and store up some water for our use.
