Miriam's Well

"There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

~Albert Einstein

 

It is a miracle in my life that at my home I have a "Miriam's Well." I have a large 36"H x 24"W Scotsman Touch-free drinking water appliance that filters water and makes ice--it is accessible to me at all times at my new home. It flows with clear room temperature water or I could add filtered ice cubes to it if I want them.

2 months ago I lived across the street from the huge Lake Michigan; but the water in the lake was dirty and not accessible to drink--it was polluted. So much water; water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink!

In my wanderings I came across drinking water  bottles that were labeled kosher. They were expensive--sold in beautiful plastic decorated containers but a pretty penny to buy.  Gas stations carried this kosher water in their food marts; it was more expensive than their soda or juice bottles.

I spent years filling up Brita containers with water and then refrigerating the water. I had to change the filters and keep track of the dates on them.

I am never thirsty anymore--Miriam has blessed me with her well. Now there is "water, water, everywhere" and it is all clean and drinkable and satisfying. I am grateful and thankful to Adonai for this gift.
