Rain Has Arrived!

Rain.......

As I sit here at this early hour of the morning sipping my coffee,

yes, I do believe it has just begun to rain.

A much needed rain for us in Southern California.

So thankful for any rain we are about to receive, reports indicate that

it will be a large amount over the next several days.

Lord, let that Doppler Radar be accurate this one time!

Rain washes away the unlovely.

The dirt and grime that gathers over time, somehow unnoitced by the 

ones carrying it's weight....

until the rain comes.

If we look we can see it leaving us... often times leaving us 

surprised it was there at all.

~

If we stand before God and allow the needed cleansing,

all will be washed away.

  Leaving us to start fresh again.

Clean.

Free from the dirt, the unlovely,

the past that continually gathers, clings to us.

Lord help us to be aware of what we have allowed to

grab on to us and take hold and travel into our tomorrows.

As the rains come let it be a reminder that we can't live

this life carrying all the crud along with us.

Let it run off,

purpose to release it,  leaving us clean again,

to start every day brand new.

Let it rain......it's what echos in my heart today....
