Today was an intermittent day for rain, to bad I did not have a WINDOW to gaze out of. Which left me with all I could think about was how fast my grass would grow, as it rained. It is most bizzarre that I can't find the perfect balance to appreciate all things in our world. However, very comfortating that I know I am not alone in my thinking.
Today one of my very cool patients made the same exact comment. I could have shouted,"Finally someone whom gets me" (BECAUSE NOT ALL TEENAGERS UNDERSTAND). she said "I love fresh cut grass,I hate the task,then she continued to talk chit/chat (I am so glad to have the 5 minute encounters I get to have on a daily basis ,yes( it's all about building relationships),so the middle age lady referenced as she continued her brief talk "but we needed the rain, so I will have to do the task again, and I get the fresh cut grass I just love"
It may sound very simplistic but, think deep,not so shallow.
God gave us rain for the ones whom love the rain.
God gave us rain for the ones whom love fresh cut grass.
God gave us rain for the creatures.
God gave us rain for those whom are like me.
God gave us rain for relationship builiding,
God gave us rain to enjoy the use of some really cool and fashionable rain boots.
God gave us rain so you can build memories from.
God gave us rain so we can know his power.
God gave us rain for a warm blanket.
God gave us rain to remind you of him
God gave us rain and it is given so graciously in Florida!
God gave us rain for the weather channel (because we need to know about the North ,not our local weather).
Yet what I find myself asking is why don't I stop and think of this instead of how it will inconvience me. After my encounter with this very nice lady was about to end she said "Honey God loves us, even if we don't always appreciate the rain" Reality check! Put very boldly!
So, don't think it's not about you. Because,eveyone has something they love/like but only when it is best for their "time " not on GODS' TIME".
I walked away from this with "LET IT RAIN". He spoke again boldly "Sandy it is not always about just you" I gave you the grass, I gave you the rain, without one,you can not get the other.
read 2: Corinthians 5-11
What is my rain really about, I am getting closer just not close enough! Today was a good day.
Sandy
