Rainy Day

Well today is one of God's beautiful rainy days. On days like today it is nice to curl up with a good book under a blanket and just listen to the beautiful music the rain makes. I remember as a child I was scared of thunderstorms, but something happened within me the day my mom died. I remember that I had to go to Dothan the day she died and get some things she had requested at her funeral. It was a rainy day like today with thunder and lightning popping everywhere. I was at the traffic light in front of the mall and it seemed light 2 bolts of lightening clashed together right above me. I don't know what happened that day other than from that moment on I had a peace about thunderstorms and enjoy them......most of the time.

I am watching Lena stand at the window looking out at the rain. She turns to me and says "Mommy whats that nosin" (her word for noise). She questions everything lately. She absorbs all. I see now why God says that we are to come to him like little children. They want to soak up everything around them. They have to know everything. This is how I, we all, should be with our relationship with Christ. The need should be great and the desire for knowledge strong. O how wonderful the innocence of a child and the pureness about them.This picture was not taken today, but I thought it captured the pureness I was talking about.

One last thought today. I was reading my Bible this morning and felt the Lord telling me to read
Mathew 3:3 (NIV)
".......Prepare the way for the Lord make straight paths for him."

What does the Lord want you to do to prepare that path for him?

I asked Him that very question this morning and now I am just waiting for Him to show me what he wants me to be doing for Him.
