It has been very hot and dry in our community. I am unaware of official statistics but according to the appearance of our yard, I suspect that we are beginning to experience drought conditions. Yet tonight, I heard a slightly familiar sound from a distance...thunder. Then I saw lightning and within minutes, I heard the beautiful sound of rain hitting our roof. The timing was excellent. Our yard welcomed the cool, refreshing water into its thirsty, parched sod.
I began thinking. Life is a precious gift but this journey sometimes seems to lead us to dry and desperate conditions. We feel weary, parched, thirsty and weak. Drought seems to envelope our hearts, minds, souls and bodies. Yet we continue to look to Him. We realize that He continues to hold us. His hope embraces us. His love surrounds us and quenches our thirst with power, peace and promises. He refreshes, renews and restores us. His timing is excellent. His Presence is everlasting. I am amazed. I am grateful. I am never alone.<3~thl
