Let it Rain

It rained on Thursday when I went with Natalie to visit a couple other friends. Sitting in the backseat of the car as we drove along, I couldn't help thinking of how beautiful it was. Cold and miserable sometimes, yes. But it is also the rain that provides drinking water, helps crops grow, and keeps rivers and lakes full of water. And who doesn't enjoy a rainy walk with a close family member or friend on a warm afternoon every once in a while? I know I do. The rain is a blessing, and I'm thankful to God for it, even on chilly, dark nights, when I sit inside and watch the droplets fall beneath the street lights.
