It's been women's work in so many cultures for so long. Next time you're standing at that spring, maybe think of all the women who had to visit there, to get water to drink and cook and wash. Their strength is your strength too. As long as there is food to cook and stuff to wash, women will find the water to do it.<BR/>it doesn't really matter how you feel - bravery and courage is about what you do, when you are feeling like a wimp. And you are still there, living your life, despite all the hardships. and your nasty goat-hating neighbour will get his come-uppance. and you will get water. and the pump bill will get paid.<BR/>in the mean-time you might haul water - but that's ok. Because you can. <BR/>good luck rosieKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305318734965153962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-4979047883645182142007-07-04T21:32:00.000-04:002007-07-04T21:32:00.000-04:00Rosie, I don't know half the troubles that you, Be...Rosie, I don't know half the troubles that you, Betty-Jo, Jimmy, or Miz Kayreen know, as my troubles in life have mostly come in proportion to what I am able to handle, even though sometimes I feel like I can't, even after an extended period of healing time.<BR/><BR/>But a trial and error thing has emerged in that I, and many I know, have been through so many trials, and yet, in the end, we come out on top, that even were we not taught about the ways of God, in a parochial setting, just by means of the successful track record we have, of never succumbing, we know that there has got to be Something out there, on our side, looking out for us, managing things, if you will.<BR/><BR/>Shit happens, people die, friendships and marriages are torn asunder, wars are waged, and yet, each day, the human race continues to thrive, in one way or another, in spite of its obsessions with silly fads, and electronic doo-dads.<BR/><BR/>Life is a beautiful thing, Rosie. Just so long as we wake up, breathing, every morning, I think that, in and of itself, is a miracle of God.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602144303531594094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-4289132529023042792007-07-04T16:32:00.000-04:002007-07-04T16:32:00.000-04:00I've been lurking for awhile, but I just wanted to...I've been lurking for awhile, but I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your current straits. We're getting ready to have a well drilled on our property in the next year, and it makes me break out in a cold sweat when I think we could end up paying several thousand dollars for a dry hole. *Urp*.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07007253754045840086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-42099824461921857022007-07-04T03:59:00.000-04:002007-07-04T03:59:00.000-04:00The woman at the well in John chapter 4, asked Jes...The woman at the well in John chapter 4, asked Jesus to give her of the water that He spoke of. He did, and she was never the same.<BR/><BR/>We all have times in our life when seems like daylight will never come. The important thing to remember is to keep our focus on the Light of Jesus Christ.<BR/><BR/>You are in my prayers today.Sista Calahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490376459710128024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-18779758116561043272007-07-04T01:47:00.000-04:002007-07-04T01:47:00.000-04:00I am so sorry to hear about that.
