On Water
Community, fellowship, friends, family, water. One of these things may not feel like the other, but if we are honest, most of our memories are tied to these things. Gatherings with friends, families, and communities throughout time usually happen with water at the center– lakes, ponds, rivers, oceans. Especially in the summers. The truth is, we as humans gravitate to water. We not only need it to survive, we need it to thrive. We need it as a reminder to slow our pace down and enjoy time with our families, wriggling our toes in the water and casting a line.
Early human settlements often grew around water sources because they were crucial for sustaining life and agriculture. Even with all of the amenities and technology that we now have to live anywhere we want, land value soars for properties around water because of people’s innate desire to be near it.
The symbolism of water in the form of faith, salvation, and provision are all used over and over in the Bible. In Isaiah 44:3 it states: “For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.”
Building legacies that link generations in fellowship and community is what we do all over the southeast. Let us partner with you in lake or pond construction. Or— let us help you manage your current lake or pond to manifest the dream you have for your property and for your family.
