Thankful Thursday


Rain. I am thankful for rain. It can be inconvenient at times for sure. Like today, we are going to have supper/play date with a family we are good friends with and go to church with. We were looking forward to letting the kids play outside. It is supposed to be raining and some thunderstorms. You know what though? God knows we must need it. Rain is so refreshing to listen too when it's not the stormy kind. The other night it rained,but was the pleasant kind. The boys and I sat on Aaron's bed and raised the window so we could hear and enjoy it. Rain cleanses the earth. It's like God's grace washing away all the filth. It helps our plants grow and our gardens flourish. I used to love sitting on our porch and watching it rain. The smell after the rain  is refreshing too. So though it may put a damper on our plans today, I am thankful we get rain.

  1. Yes, rain is good. We've had tons of snow. I'd rather have rain. :)

  2. Rain is awesome and we'll take all the moisture we can get. We have well over 2 feet of snow but no one is complaining. God is so good :)

  3. Times like this, rain is something i'd really be grateful for. It's summer here and it's too hot and humid.

  4. We had rain this week too and I enjoyed it, even though it was cold and didn't feel like spring anymore with the cold temperatures.

    Have a good evening!
