It’s not even 8 a.m. and already two tornado warnings have been issued and expired. An interesting day appears to be ahead, weather wise. I’m grateful for forecasts that provide vital information. I’m grateful for the security guard that drove around at 5 a.m., blaring an air horn, warning people to get up and get to the storm shelter here. I’m grateful the worst of the storm has passed now.
I’m grateful for the heavy rain that waters the earth. I’m grateful that it rinsed off a lot of the salt we brought back from the coast, as well as the copious amounts of pollen that always comes this time of year. I’m grateful for rainy days that make indoor projects rise to the top of the to-do list. I’m grateful for having an excuse to stay home and write, or read, or even clean if I want. I’m grateful for choices.
Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain. The Lord will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone. ~Zechariah 10:1
