Rain & Renewal
I love being at work in the rain. Our library has a wall of floor to ceiling windows. Yesterday worked out well because it didn't start raining until school started. Of course, I couldn't spend a great deal of time staring out the windows. I had work to do but it did get me thinking. Why do I love the rain so much?
When it rains, the sky is overcast. You could see overcast as gloomy but I see it as comforting. It's dark and cozy. When I'm at home, it's perfect nap weather.
As a little girl, I always liked the little rhyme: "April showers bring May flowers". {Also, it's accompanying riddle: "What do May flowers bring?" "Pilgrims"} Rain signals renewal and new growth.
It reminds me that I am still a work in progress. I still have room to grow. I'm not finished. God is teaching me things every day. I am being renewed. I am reminded of one of my favorite Psalms.
And, of course, the Shane and Shane song that goes with it...
