He waters the earth

last night, it finally rained.

our county has been in stage 2 of drought for two summers, our past rainless winter bringing no relief. and added to it has been the staggering amount of fires california has endured. so what a refreshment for body and soul (and all creation) to have the sky fill up with clouds, and be able to say, "boy, it feels like rain." and sure enough, i woke up in the middle of the night to hear water coming down. though it wasn't a torrential downpour, enough to refill our watersheds, it was wet nonetheless. God has heard our prayers (or, at least mine!). :)

praise God for He is kind; His mercies last for aye! may we have stormy weather!
