Oh, Give Thanks unto the Lord
Friday, June 6th, 2008Oh, Give thanks unto the Lord
For He is GOOD!!!
And His mercy endures - FOREVER!!!!
To paraphrase - I got up this morning and what did I see…
Oh, YES! The sidewalk is wet. The ground is wet. The leaves on the trees are wet. Not with dew but with beautiful, beautiful rain.
Isn’t that wonderful??? We’ve heard it before this spring. The sounds of thunder in the night. We even see a few raindrops coming down, all a promise that we are not forgotten. But it always seemed as though it was just a reminder that, yes, it still can rain.
My husband came running in with the rain gauge this morning. Look at this, he said. What does it show? Oh, YES, YES, YES…1.30 inches of the beautiful wet stuff.
Our concerns are about the many different forms of poverty within our community and being leaders and doing something about it. Have we acquired the knowledge and awareness to do something about it? Do we have the skills to mobilize and do something? Are we taking action and making changes? All in good time, we think.
But one thing we can’t do is control the weather and the effects it has on us as individuals, families, communities. Only One Person can do that.
Praise the Lord. He always remembers us. Do we always remember Him!!??
