“Your body loses about two quarts of water a day through perspiration, urination, and exhaustion. “  Barbara Levine, Ph.D.

What has changed with your water drinking?

And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.  (Revelation 22:17; NKJ)

Well, my “elixir” Daily Gram generated some “juicy” thoughts from our readers.  Some sent an email to thank me for reminding them to drink more water.  Some sent an email in disbelief of how much water they really need to drink!  And some wondered if drinking water really could help with some of the nagging health conditions from which they suffer.

However I had a special conversation with our friend Peggy about her “water revelation.”  We’ve known Peggy for years.  She’s a wonderful, outgoing, and giving woman.  She is also a middle school science teacher.  So, she knows about water.  

She told me yesterday that for the past several years she had been much better about drinking more water.  (Part of that could be from my harping on her every time we spoke). J   However, during the past several months the landscape of teaching science in the public school system has taken on some new scenery, bringing some unexpected and added stress in Peggy’s life.  

She began to realize that something was wrong!  She wasn’t able to organize her thoughts.  She was having difficulty thinking and organizing her lesson plans for school, and she was noticing increased fatigue.  

After reading about the “elixir of life,” a light bulb went off in her head.  She realized that her water drinking had greatly decreased due to her busyness with school.  She wasn’t drinking nearly enough water.  She immediately began to make changes and purposed to begin drinking much more water once again.  After only a couple of days, she began to think more clearly and feel better overall.  She was so grateful for the reminder in the Daily Gram that helped to recognize what was going on. 

Thank you, Peggy, for sharing your story with us!
