Rain is good

Rain.  Yes rain can be healing.  It does seem to clean the earth when it falls.  I love the smell of rain.  I much prefer rain to snow!  Snow can look clean and pretty when it comes down but soon turns dark and dirty when cars and people drive or walk over it.  Then of course there is the "yellow snow" made by animals!  The rain though is healing and nourishing.  All the things that need the rain to grow and the rivers that need the water to let the boats float and the fish swim.  The oceans that need to be able to let the ships cruise.  Rain is good.  So when it rains and you are upset that it has ruined your barbecue or your picnic or your sports game.  Remember what all it does do and how it is really and truly a gift from God.
