Life and Rain

The rain falls and we are grateful.

Rain refreshes the earth with its blessedness.

When it pours down rain, we run for cover. When troubles pour down, we look for a way of escape. Some find the help they need in God.

The drought in California has made us appreciative of every droplet of moisture that is received. We treat rain as a precious commodity … and it is.

Lack of rain stops us all in our tracks. Abundance of rain comes with the storm cloud. Both speak to us of forces beyond our control.

The rain falls and we are grateful.

Rain is a Gift

Candle Light Ambience

A candle flame is burning.

A flame flickers penetrating the darkness that surrounds it.

The candle’s flame may be small but its white light may keep a person from stumbling in the dark.

An analogy could be made. People are like candles. Our light may keep another person from stumbling around in the confusing darkness.

God gives light. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who believes in me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

The warmth of softened feelings steals over me in the quietness of an evening: the candle light, favorite music and gentle thoughts … bring joy.
