I am the last person you will ever hear asking for it to rain. I love my sunny days. But after a month and a half with no rain and weeks of record breaking temperatures in the 100s, I was ready for it. I have never seen it so dry in our area. For the first time in 22 years, I actually set the sprinklers out to water our lawn. Of course, this is partly due to the new grass seed that was put down after all our yard excavation was completed, but I would have done it anyway because our grass and flowers were dying.
Well, last Saturday the heavens opened. I awoke just before 6:00am to the sound of what can only be described as a waterfall enveloping our house. It poured all day that day and for several days since then. You can almost hear the earth sighing with relief. Thank you Lord, for your cleansing rains. For the refreshing sound and feel of fresh water falling from heaven... covering the earth in your fingerprints.
Fellow blogger Beki at The Rusted Chain has a really great weekly post she does every Friday called "Fingerprint Friday." We are to look around and see where we can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Anywhere? Go find out where Beki saw God this week, and be sure to check out the other bloggers who linked their stories as well.
