Rain!

It rained on Sunday!

For some of you, that might not be a big deal, but if you were at the Gathering it was a pretty exciting moment! At least...it was for me anyway.

No sooner had I asked for you all to pray for rain (because I was whining about how hot it was) did it actually start raining!!! It was so heavy we could hear it through the roof! Then as quickly as it came, it was gone.

I bring this up because I really feel like this was a simple gift from God to me for that day. I had one of those days like we all seem to have on Sundays. I felt like I just couldn't keep up with time and there were too many things to do in a day. Plus, it was hot...and I was tired of being hot. I've been watching the clouds lately hoping for rain, but none seems to come where I live.

Then on Sunday God smiled in his heart and took joy in a simple gift given, a brief period of rain at the moment I asked you all to pray for it. It was a moment of fun at the hands of the playful heart of the Father, and it makes me think, how many simple little gifts does God give us each day, but our busy lives or distracted minds completely miss them?

Keep an eye out today. A smile from a stranger, a beautiful sunset, a call from a friend, can all be simple gifts from God given to you at the perfect time, right when you need it.

It was great to worship with you on Sunday!

God bless you and I'll see you next weekend.

In Him,
