Ever since I was a child I loved rainy days. Maybe, because my mother did. I remember when we were in the car after an outing and there was a nice steady rainfall, my mom was never in a hurry to go inside. We would just sit in the car enjoying the sound of the thunder and the rain drops hitting the roof of our car. Those were fond, calming memories for me.
I also enjoyed the rumbling of the thunder and the silver streaks of lighting crackling as they made an entrance into the sky. I think of it as God's "rain show" that He performs for me.
My friends know my love of rainy days, so when it does pour it make them think of me and say, "Carletta must be happy today." and they would be right.
This morning, we had a heavy shower and I got some disturbing news that my daughter and son in law both have pneumonia from covid. My daughter is in the hospital and my son in law is at home alone.
Do you know how that tears at a mother's heart? Can you feel me- mother's/father's? Not only are they both sick but I can't even visit or help nurse them back to health. They don't feel like talking and are so tired they just want to sleep.
I have to keep my mind lifted up and believe that God is with them; healing and holding them, as only He can do. All I can do is pray. I know that is the best treatment and I can do it, any time, any where and in any manner that I choose.
So when the heavens opened up their windows and doors and spewed out that awesome shower today; I felt like God saw my mother's heart. He heard my prayers and the prayers of my friends and their friends. I felt like He was crying with me letting me know- He cares too. He collected our tears and emptied them down on me.
I am strong and maintaining a calm spirit because I know my God is on the job. He is in control. He sees me, Dana and Dave. He cares and He is taking care of them with out my help.
I surrender my control to the one who has the power to heal. So reign down on us all O Lord!
So Reign/ Rain ON!
awesome
