ANYONE THIRSTY?

I absolutely love SUNKIST drinks. Without a doubt that is the best drink ever created. It's just sweet enough, tangy enough, and orange enough to be the best ever. There was a time when I would easily drink 1-2 20 oz. bottles of Sunkist every single day. I LOVE IT!!! However, recently due to some injuries that I have had, I have not been able to do anything active (run, play basketball, work out, etc...). So before I get my body to a place where I will be able to sign up to be on The Biggest Loser tv show, I have decided to cut back 95% of all soft drinks. Including Sunkist. This past Tuesday night I fell off the wagon. I went over to one of my boys house to watch the UNC vs NCSU bball game. One the way there I stopped at the store and bought a Sunkist to enjoy during the game. It's almost like once I tasted it once, years ago, i cant stop drinking it.

A lot of people talk about the famous story in the Bible when Jesus ministers to the "woman and the well". In this story Jesus offers her "living water" so that she will "never thirst again". I believe that Jesus offered her, what would have the same effect on me, Sunkist. It's not that Jesus would give her water 1 time and then she would never drink anymore.

I believe the mistake that we make is think that God will only give us water once and it's supposed to last a lifetime. God didnt give us water that will last a lifetime (Leonard Sweet). He gives us water that will make us want to drink more and more and more and more. Everytime we search for more of the living water that God gives us, He will gladly fill up our jars once more.
TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD

stay HUMBLED
