Here in Southern California we’re having a rainy Christmas morning. But that doesn’t bother me. Unlike most Southern Californians, I actually like the rain. I love the peacefulness of the constant noise of the rain falling on the roof and it hitting the window awnings of our house.
Rain is beautiful and necessary. It provides the water to fill our aquafers and soak our hills so that we don’t have a terrible fire season like we did this year. Rain waters our lawns, trees and shrubs for free. Rain cleanses the impurities from our air and creates beautiful vistas. After a good rain, downtown Los Angeles is easily viewable from the top of the hill at the I10 and Via Verde in Covina, California. I love the views after a good rain. =)
So on this day on which we celebrate the birth of our Lord, I want to take time to thank Him for the rain, this life that I live, the roof over my head, and and my wife who is asleep in the other room. Jesus, it all belongs to you and you let me use it. Thank you!
May the God that we serve bless your soul today.
