While we are experiencing some of the highest temperatures ever in Middle Tennessee(100-110 degrees,)it gives us a new meaning of words like drought, precipitation, and dryness that I usually associated with Haiti.
We're reminded of our dependence upon God who brings the wind and the rains and causes the seeds to grow and bring forth fruit.I can vividly recall the freshness of a spring shower that washes away the dust and brings a distinct freshness that lingers
Looking at the arid brown of our lawn and crops which aren't producing well makes me realize how much we need moisture from a sufficient rainfall to change that picture.Even my perennials are not abundant and bright because of the need for gentle showers.
An old hymn of the church, "Showers Of Blessings"renews the prayer of my heart.Lord, while we need rain, help me to see my need of Your blessings to refresh me and saturate my spirit. May others sense that I have been with You sipping the Water of Life that quickens my spirit and sweetens my life. And as I sit at your feet, may it show in my attitudes and words that come from my mouth and pen.Let it be a shower that makes a difference.
