The rainy season is upon us here in the Pacific Northwest. For many that is something to groan and gripe about. For me it is a reason to rejoice. I love the rain. I love to watch it pour down. To hear it splashing against the ground. When roads are empty I love to drive in it. I love the sound it makes against my van's metal roof and the way it runs willy nilly across my window. I even like walking in the rain. I like the way it soaks into my hair and clothes when I know a warm shower is soon to follow. It is refreshing and cleansing. It allows growth. It washes all the dust away. I am a person who needs the rain.
Today was a hard day. Today, I needed the rain. My body aches, my heart aches, my mind aches, and my soul aches. There are so many things I don't understand. So many questions that go un-answered. Driving home today I took notice of the rain. It didn't bring me answers or stop the aches and pains, but it brought me comfort. Thank you Lord for the rain.
