The rain

Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day!!

I have rarely sang this song. Because well. I love the rain.

Always have.

To me. Rain is full of lessons.

There is something soothing about a soft rain. The kind that gingerly caresses your skin. It's like a sweet whisper from God. As that gentle drop lands on your arm...there is comfort. You can sing out to God a song of serenity.

There is something mesmerizing about a steady rthymic rain. The kind that stirs your soul and creates a sense of balance. It's like a solid reminder that you are alive. And capable. And strong. You can call out to God a shout of joy.

There is something rejuvenating about a full throttle downpour. The kind that shakes the shutters and almost hurts. It wipes out muck and filth and cleanses your soul. You can holler out to God a broken cry of redemption.

Rain, rain come to stay
Heal my heart and make a way
To wholeness and love
Understanding and peace
Let it rain.
Let it rain.
