We have been needing rain here since it's been so dry. We have been in a burn ban for quite some time now and the much needed rain was a welcoming suprise...at first. Today, it has been raining for almost 10 hours straight and the water level keeps rising. Normally this wouldn't bother me much but since we live near the river, I do have to say that I am a bit stressed. I've tried to relax by sewing or cleaning or reading but nothing is working...not until the rain slows down...so I thought. I do take comfort in something that my oldest said while driving home this afternoon. "The water is getting higher but I"m not afraid because God has promised to never to send a flood like he did to Noah and the rainbow promises th
at". What a wonderful and comforting statement to hear from a 6 year old. That little statement is so true and the promises that God has given to us are true. Ok...remember that statement that I said earlier about not being able to relax and being stressed out until the rain stops? Well, after writing this blog, I know that I should be enjoying the rain and all the beautiful things that come from the it. The green leaves on the trees, the blooms on the flowers, the innocence of children jumping in puddles. Maybe it will be a productive day today as I enjoy and sit in awe of everything that Christ has created and done for us.
