As a general rule, most people don’t like the rain. We all see it as necessary, vital to life. But the rain generally means a bad weather day. We stay in, things get wet and kind of gloomy. A favorite song of mine says, “I can’t stop the rain, but I will hold you till it goes away.” We understand that we need rain, but we’re all just waiting for it to go away.
So the readings from this morning touched me immediately:
Read the rest over at Daughters of Saint John.“You poured down, O God, a generous rain:
When your people were starved you gave them new life.
It was there that your people found a home,
Prepared in your goodness, O God, for the poor.”
