Raindrops Keep Fall'n On My Head

The word for the day is, RAIN.  I know. Seems like Noah must be around somewhere. But he is not. And they have made up a word just for the storm we are  going through.  It’s a Frankenstorm. At the point that I am writing this it’s still coming together and you will be in it as you may be reading this.  After all, nothing to do but read the paper when it’s raining.
They have been talking about two storm fronts converging like we have not seen. And with it comes 130mm of rain.  That’s a lot of rain. Speaking of rain.  If rain is water, and water washes things clean, why do we still have dirt? Thought about that a lot lately. Especially now that I don’t have to wash the car for a while.
I know if I were to ask each of you about a storm you fondly or UN-fondly remember, you would probably mention one that had an impact on your life. I remember very faintly Hurricane Hazel. Then I remember the snow of 1977, where my wife never made it home from work. This was followed by the snow of 1978 where I never made it to work.
Just the other week, we were out after a rain and just happened to notice a rainbow forming. It was amazing and ended up to be two rainbows.  What a wonder to behold as God painted it in the early evening. And for every storm there is an end and it too is beautiful.
But there are other storms. They are part of our lives. As many say, life is not easy. It has it’s ups and downs. We see storms brewing in just living in this fallen world and we do everything we can to prepare for it. When it arrives it seems bigger than we imagined. And after it’s over, we feel relieved. That’s life and that’s our life. Storms come and go and we get through them.
We who believe in a God who loves and cares about us already know He knows about our storms. He sees them coming before we do. He helps to prepare us and he then goes with us through them. And there is the difference. We never go through any storm on our own. Because;
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone.
 
Something to think about
