This touching story has not left my mind every since it was introduced to me. Chet and Sarah Erwin delivered a baby boy in August that had already gone to be with Jesus. In his honor they decided to begin drilling water wells in Uganda. Their goal was to drill 9 wells for the nine months that sweet Holden was with them. They are on well #6 as we speak!! Praise God! Even though Holden had a short life. His loss has allowed others to live. I have never gotten the opportunity to meet Sarah or Chet, but their story has been so very touching! Ali Jo was born just two weeks before Holden was born and my heart aches along with them. It is so uplifting to know that through tragedy hope can be built!
This story of the water well makes me think of our Lord. The water that flows from the wells in Uganda is like the gift of salvation and eternal life that flows from above! HE is our living water! As long as we put Him first in our lives we shall have victory and never thirst! Numbers 105:41 says "He opened the rock, and water gushed out; like a river it flowed in the desert." How exciting to know that He is our rock!
