I am so thankful for all of the rain we received today. It was truly needed. I enjoyed just sitting and watching it as I drank a mug of French Vanilla coffee and ate a homemade Fruit & Bran muffin. Nothing but silence, except for the relaxing sounds of rain and wind, for a solid hour. The morning was lazy and I accomplished nothing at all.
Later in the afternoon it began to rain really hard.
Eddie decided he was goi
ng to get out his new army
ng to get out his new army cot and take a nap out on the deck. As soon as he got layed down, our dogs, Squeeky and Rudy, came onto the deck and looked at him as though they were saying, "Hey, whatcha doin?"
Then they decided it was a good idea and in no time all three of them were asleep.
Of course, me, I was taking pictures....LOL
I believe that most of the time we forget just how blessed our lives are.
Tomorrow morning my brother Johnny will be having surgery. I pray that he will come through the surgery fine and recover fully. So many people ask why do people get sick, have to have surgery, and suffer with illness and pain. Why? they ask, doesn't God do something about it.
Well, He did. He sent His Son, who willingly suffered and died for each of us who willingly accepts Him as our Savior. I know that Johnny will be held safely in the hands of God, and that he will receive strength and comfort by relying Him.
We can receive comfort, relaxation, and joy in a rain shower. How much more can we receive this and so much more when we put our trust and faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ.
