For our devotional today, look in your Bible for a passage about water. Read it, then read and ponder this reflection: Some of my fondest summer memories have to do with water. Seeing Niagara Falls, going on the waterslides at Raystown Lake, running under a sprinkler in our backyard, and sliding down a homemade waterslide are events which have made a lasting impression. Water is a truly valuable resource. We use it to drink, bathe, and have some summer fun. What would you do during the summer without a tall glass of ice water? Or a swimming pool? Ever try to make spaghetti without water? Everyday, everywhere we turn, there is water. Just like water, children are valuable resources. They are everywhere, too. You seem them everyday, always happy, without a care in the world. They appreciate the small things-- the birds, the ducks, the flies, the gnats, mud puddles, ice cream trucks and the like. They turn an ordinary box into an extravagant plaything. They have the power to be whatever or whomever they want to be. Nothing is impossible to them. Jesus once turned water into wine. I once turned by dining room into Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Anything is possible with a little faith or some imagination. The possibilities are endless. Remember our youth. They are the future. They have insights, ideas, and imaginations that will carry this nation forward. And when you get a little stressed out, take a small run under a garden sprinkler. You will feel young again and be rejuvenated in an ever-so-hectic world. --Chad Hershberger, Cam
