The Lord is sending us the blessing of rain. Weather lore or not, I think this is highly unusual for the month of July. Like the song, There Shall Be Showers of Blessing, we are getting those showers in abundance. The flowers and limbs of trees are bowing their heads under the weight of water. Which reminds me, that’s what I should do too–bow my head under the deluge of abundant blessings from God and thank Him for hearing and answering prayer.
I couldn’t resist taking a picture of the crepe myrtle by my deck. It is so heavily weighed down with rain that some of the limbs are almost touching the deck. But how wonderful that it isn’t drying up and turning brown from lack of moisture.
What is there about the rain that inspires poets to write poetry and mystery writers to write mysteries? What is there about the rain that makes me feel at the same time, energetic and inspired and sleepy and wanting to curl up for a nap? I love the sound, the scent and the sight of rain. And rain on a summer day is a rarity to be enjoyed.
