I love the rain!

This week has been a bit dreary, the weather that is, however, I love the RAIN! I love the smell through my window during the night, I love the soothing sound it makes that lulls me to sleep, I love the car splashing in the puddles (I like to go through them, not around them). I love how cute Levi looked after football practise all drenched and rosie-cheeked. I love that its the perfect day crawl up on the couch with a blanket and watch a sappy movie.

I love the words that describe rain; like refreshing, cleansing, washing away, fresh, and clean. It reminds me of my Father, who wants to pour out His refreshing love over us. He gives us a fresh start time and time again, He cleanses away our ugliness and exposes the beauty He created.


(sigh) I love the rain . . .
" . . . it is like first light at daybreak without a cloud in the sky, like green grass carpeting the earth, glistening under fresh rain." 2 Samuel 23:4

I absolutley love the rain, even don't mind it when I get caught in it. I mostly love the strong earthy clean smell after the rain, always reminds me of Moose Lake and all the great times. Ah that was such a simpler time in life though I didn't think so at the time.
