Rain in Summer
How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain!
. . .
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Sweet drops of rain drizzled from the sky as I watered our tiny little garden this morning. I whispered praises for each droplet. So needed, so wanted, so refreshing! The puffy clouds hovered above and reminded me to keep praying for the water we need to nourish the parched soil everywhere.
It was just the touch I needed to feel the closeness of the Father. The clouds reminded me of the heavy feeling of decisions we are pondering and the light rain was a sprinkle of His reign - He hears our pleas and knows our heart.
Rain in summer - "How beautiful is the rain!"
