Rain

Today’s job was out of town so I drove the fifty miles as the compass wavered about the “NE”. The powder blue summer sky didn’t have the normal puffy white clouds but presented smooth lenticular ones with shotgun gray underbellies and a hazy darkness that loomed on the horizon. This was the eighth month of the year and there had been no rain in as many months.
The summer heat had parched my spirit and fried my brain leaving me felling like a lifeless heap of jerky. I was expecting another hot, dry, and physically challenging day. But without warning the atmosphere darkened, the temperature dropped and a torrent of rain fell to the dusty earth. It was the long over due drink for which I had waited.
Thank you, Lord Jesus,
For Your blessings out of the sky
Now, it has made my spirits fly.
It’s time to be bold and not be shy
Its time to sing Your praises on high.
Amen.
