What a summer! We moved back to Oklahoma and were greeted with the longest heat wave since 1980 (yes, I remember it!)! The only difference is that I am now 31 years older -- meaning I melt a lot faster! Extreme weather affects every facet of one's life, especially health and livelihood. Prayer chains around the country prayed for rain. And, in a mighty way last night, God answered that fervent request. The storm came with a vengence. We had some property damage, but no one was hurt here at the ranch.
In recent years, it seems the tune "Soon its gonna rain, I can feel it..." comes to mind. I can't help but hum it when the drops finally fall. There's a part of me that just knows that God's gonna bring the rain when I pray...hopefully sooner rather than later. To me, the cup "is half full"!
It is easy to understand why our boys may have "half empty" vision. We try to use teachable moments", like last night's storm, to redirect their sights the other way. Prayer is powerful! God is with us through the droughts of our life. If we remain faithful and persevere, "soon it will rain, we will feel it..."
Carpe Diem!

Great opportunity for you serving God.

You are right where He sent you.

Oh yes and don't look back,
or you may turn into a pillar of
salt.
He gave you a light to carry to the world and carry it you do.
