Rain Rain

A little town about 500km away from Cape Town as been suffering a terrible drought. There dams are dry and they the are on a water restriction of 20 liters per household per day. This was brought to my attention this week when I heard about the Water Bottles for Beaufort West drive. It is so easy for us to take water for granted. We open the tap and it is there. Why be worried? But this week I have come to find a new appreciation for the "little" things we take for granted. And I have found a new fire within to fight for our water. I am about to get carried away, but the reason I write this is because of the power of prayer. Since I have heard about it I have prayed for rain. Tonight I was informed that they already received 24mm of rain since the previous night. It gave me goosebumps because it brought home to me that we just need to trust in God. Pray and let God do the rest and tonight I pray that God will bless them with more rain until they are out of trouble.
