"We May Sleep Through The Rain"

Rain has been predicted but I have to wonder. It's way pat the time it was suppose to start. 9-19-2019  Perryton, TX

 

We keep waiting for the rain that was suppose to have started two hours ago. They keep promising, but it looks like a false sign. It has been raining all around us, but not one drop here. The sun is hid, and dark clouds are in sight, but I do believe we will be left out of any moister. I can be content in my cozy little home, because here I have plenty of water for all my needs. However, I know the rain is what makes the earth flourish with food that our mortal bodies have to have. We will keep waiting for rain until the rain man decides to soak our land. The worse thing about waiting for rain is to know you better stay home. I probably would not be going anywhere anyway, but to know I can't just makes things worse. How spoiled some of us are when it comes to choosing our own time, and place to go.

I spent most of the day with my son, Chuck. He is suffering with an attack of gout. It is very painful, and has to run it's course. A mother cannot find excitement in anything when she has children suffering for any reason. But we can find peace, and contentment to get us through the toughest times. It requires a lot of prayer, and determination to deal with such unpleasant situations, but we always feel blessed after the battle has been won. I always remember to be thankful for not being in some people's shoes that are bearing unbelievable pain, and stress. Most of us are not thankful enough for the good life God has given us. If we don't already have it, we need to pray for a song in our heart at night. “Anyone can sing when the sun is shinning bright, but we need a song in our heart at night.” I can say I do have that song at night. Thank God for His mercy.

I'm getting ready to have a light evening meal, then relax and watch the latest news. A lot is happening in this old sinful world, but again I can say I have peace through it all. God has told us to trust Him with all problems, and I have learned to do that. I'm not only waiting for rain in this old world, but I'm waiting for a mansion in the new world. I know without a doubt that the mind cannot even imagine the glorious beauty, and everlasting life, God has prepared for us. Let us be patient, and run this race with enthusiasm, and encourage others who are lagging behind. I love being a coach for all runners who are numbered among this spiritual race. It's not about who gets there first, but who stays the course. I am about to shout already. What a great day that will be!

God Bless
