‘Rich beyond your wildest dreams!’ - 2^nd October 2006

 

 

 

Have you ever daydreamed about winning the lottery? Or suddenly finding yourself heir to an enormous fortune? Have you ever looked in your attic for any over-looked Rembrandts? This week I’d like to show you five ways in which you are ‘Rich, beyond your wildest dreams’ and give you something practical you can do in response

Today I want to tell you about three ‘miracle molecules’: 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Combined they make water. You are using your brain to take in this information but 75% of your brain is ‘just’ water.  Water is an everyday substance that we often take completely for granted, yet without it our whole life would be dominated by finding it, fetching it and conserving it. We wouldn’t flush toilets or wash clothes, bodies or utensils.  The fact that we can turn on our taps and have fresh clean water in our own homes is nothing short of miraculous.  This is a daily miracle denied to the 25% of the world’s population who do not have access to safe drinking water.  

So today, go turn on a tap, drink a glass of water to boost your brain power and thank God for making you ‘rich beyond your wildest dreams’. (You could also visit www.wateraid.org and find out about how you could help celebrate World Toilet day on the 19^th November – now there’s a thought).
