Navajo Spring, Manitou Springs, Colorado
Most of the mineral springs in Manitou are hard workers. Night and day they continue to pump water whether people fill their water bottles and milk jugs or not. It doesn't matter what is happening, they keep doing their job.
Navajo Spring is no different even considering its location. Navajo Spring makes up the back wall of a candy shop in Manitou and is surround by many other distractions. When you mention Manitou Springs to people, many will think of the penny arcade. I have been to the arcade a few times and I never knew the spring was here.
But it keeps on doing its job.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called [children] of God." Matthew 5:9 English Standard Version
The redeemed of Christ are peacemakers who carry out their task in the midst of the distractions of life. As peacemakers our goal is not to be noticed but to be the presence of Christ in the midst of these distractions. And when we bring Christ into the every day commotion of life we act as peacemakers.
When Christ was crucified there were many distractions; it was Passover. Though the sky grew dark that day, life didn't stop.
As children of God we are still those who bring peace when the rest of the world is distracted. It's what we do.
