Summer Rains

The hot summer sun cooked the earth and boiled up all the moisture from every available crack and crevice.  The columns of vapor rose into the heavens only to cool and condense back into tiny water droplets that combined and formed large raindrops…raindrops that fell to the earth and quenched the dry thirsty soil.  It is amazing how that works.  How did God figure that out all by himself?  It is interesting that Mother Nature follows all the laws of science and physics without question…never breaking even one rule.  Perhaps if people...perhaps if I...followed God’s rules without question…never breaking even one law…I would find much more peace, joy and happiness.  Perhaps my parade would not get rained on.

Thank you Lord Jesus for the summer rain

That quenches a parched and thirsty plain

For your rules to guide me through the pain

For strength and courage...not to complain.

Amen.
