You know that feeling — the cool rush of water over a dry throat, the instant relief that comes from a single sip. For many of us, we’re blessed to live in a time and place where water has become one of those things we often take for granted. Sometimes we forget that not only is it foundational to human life, but it’s also a gift that points to something deeper.
