We were delighted last evening to look out and see a rainbow. Rainbows are free pleasures - God's gift - a symbol of grace. I took this picture at the end of our street looking west. Rainbows mean rain and the rain did and was falling.
We have a greater appreciation for rain these days. The drought has made us (me?) take it a lot less for granted. The rain falls on the just and the unjust says the Scripture. And, the drought also comes to the just and the unjust. I don't know that I understand or can explain the why of either. This summer, some folks have gotten rain that others could only see from a distance. You cannot lasso a rain cloud and pull it over your farm.
There is something refreshing about rain. It seems to cleanse the air and the earth. There is a certain smell that comes with rain and the reduced temperatures are nice as well. I hoped it rained at your house. And, I hope that I am more conscious of rain in the days to come. It is a blessing from above for which I want to offer thanks.
