It Takes A Little Rain~

 This is my view this morning in Southern Missouri. It appears that I have brought the Washington rain home to Missouri. We so need it. So no complaining will you hear from me. However ~ I have a day of outlet mall shopping planned. I am getting my Easter basket shopping done.  It's going to be a very bad hair day~ they tend to make me grumpy. My Brian and I are enjoying a couple days away.

I am watching the rain and observing the ducks below my deck squabbling at each other. Then to stir things up a fat beaver shows up~ my he has been eating well. What a fun sight to see. I marvel at the Creation that God has created.


 As I sit here enjoying the rain I am reminding of a song I sang a long time ago.

When the wind begins to blow.

And they never, never cry

When the rain begins to fall.

Oh, it's wet and oh so cold, 

Soon the sun will shine again.

Then they'll smile unto the world, 

For their beauty to behold.

When the clouds begin to gather

And the wind begins to blow, 

Little flowers don't complain, 

Though they're tossing to and fro.

Oh, I guess they've learned the secret, 

They don't fret because they know, 

If it never, never rained, 

Then they'd never, never grow.

So, let it rain, let it rain, let it pour, 

Little trouble keep on knocking at my door, 

If we'll learn the right from wrong, 

It will help to make us strong.

Lord, please help us learn the secret, 

Even little flowers know, 

If it never, never rains

Then we'll never, never grow.

Yep~ it's true. If it never rained we would never~ never grow. Not only do the flowers need a little rain to grow but so do we. Love even takes a little rain to grow. When the rain stops and the sun shines again the grass is a little greener and the flowers start to bloom. So~ today I am praising God for the rain even if it means a bad hair day.
