Almost 4 Miles
by Aunt Kelly & Uncle Mark, for our nieces and nephews
Our family loves to walk! Our family loves to hike! Sidewalks and trails are fun for feet and also for a bike!
We walk to get fresh air and keep our bodies healthy. We seldom walk to get our food or water because we're wealthy.
Some people walk every day to get their family water! Moms take long walks alone or they bring their sons and daughters.
They walk the same distance on the very same trail each day! They walk 6 kilometers, which is almost 4 miles! It's such a very long way!
It's a long way to walk! And they go every day! The children go too-- so they don't get to play!
Some children miss school and they don't learn new stuff; their family struggles to have "just enough".
Just to get water! or else they can't drink! It's hard to imagine! We simply can't think
of what that is like-- to walk just to drink! I know what you're thinking--and yes, that would stink!
Wouldn't it be great if their water was close? So they could do other things with their time, and even repose?
Repose means to rest, and to be free from worry. Hey! I've got an idea! Now I really must hurry!
We will walk with our friends! Yes! We will commit! Almost 4 miles each day and you won't see us quit!
The world is waiting and now we're on our way! Almost 4 miles tomorrow, each day, and TODAY!
Let's do this right now! Let's do this each day! GOD help us help others is what we will pray!
Water is so good! I'd say good water is GREAT! Let's get the world water before it's too late!
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ASK
or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..."
Ephesians 3:20
320.432.CUPP
"ASK now about the former days, long before your time,
from the day God created human beings on the earth;
ASK from one end of the heavens to the other.
Has anything so great as this ever happened,
or has anything like it ever been heard of?"
Deuteronomy 4:32
