I'd gotten "thirsty" for some rainy days during these dry years, and God filled my cup this past week.
We had days of steady, soaking rain. The thunder rumbled... off in the distance. We turned on the lamps, and enjoyed some quiet afternoons. I napped on the sofa with a soft pillow one day; another, I piddled around in my room with some of my pretty tea things. We went to sleep to the sound of rain, and woke up to it.
It was so good to have the Lord provide, so abundantly, a need only He could meet.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Philippians 4:8

I am blessed.
This site is a collection of some of the "lovely things" that God has given me. I gather them together as a simple act of obedience... "think on these things" ... and as a matter of personal delight!

I'd like to ...
have a cutting garden
and "New Dawn" roses
and a dog
study physics
and calculus
and astronomy
learn another language
go to Israel
and Italy
and France
and the British Isles
learn to quilt
and play chess
find a perfect fragrance

I love the rain... but I don't love gray days with nothing forthcoming. I'm so thankful for the smattering of sunshine we've had in between - I needed that SO MUCH!
Can you believe it's supposed to be in the freezing temps again this week? Crazy!
My tendency is to complain about the weather more than I express gratitude, something I had to repent of just today. The rain is a gift directly from God, just as you said, and just now it is a much needed one!
