What is better, on the scorching days of summer, than cool water?
Whether we are immersing ourselves in a pool of water, or sipping a cool glass of it, one thing is certain: water refreshes.
It cools us off and brings relief from the oppresive heat.
When we swim in it, it feels good to move our bodies. It's nice to get every inch of our bodies wet. Ahhhhh, such sweet relief from being overheated.
Who can resist the magnetic pull of the ocean? It is there we find solace and peace, with the swishing of the waves and caw of the seagulls.

Sipping a glass of ice cold water is such a treat. If lemon, lime, or orange slices have been added to it, so much the better.
In Christianity, water has significant symbolism. It is considered "living." When we are washed in it in baptism, we are made new.
Every time we take a sip of clean, pure water, we are blessed. In some places in the world, running water would be considered a true luxury.
Think of that next time you take a sip of it.
DO YOU DRINK A LOT OF WATER?
