I got up this morning to the usual... waking up to a 15 month old jonathan walker look a like waving at me from her crib, with bed head and a diaper that prolly weighed more than she does. Her sister sleeping sideways with her legs propped up on me. Coffee always makes the morning better, along with cartoons, cartoons, cartoons... I enjoyed lunch with my father in law and Jonathans grandparents and the girls, came home and got ready to cut grass. I got to thinking while i pushed and pushed and sweat ran down my face how much i really felt "hot and wore out" in so many situations. Theres so many things that we dont wanna do, but we know that if we dont it wont get done. My grass, that was usually cut by my husband, has become my job along with taking out the garbage and other things that he always did. Sometimes you just gotta take care of business all by yourself. Not long after, when we thought it couldnt get any hotter, a big dark rain cloud rumbling overhead. And did it ever rain. When we feel overwhelmed, "hot and wore out", depressed, like we cant breathe, God sends us blessings of relief, just like the rain. It cools the soul, replinishes the mind, and eases the worry and stress that life brings. And we can all take comfort in that...
Tomorrow's another day, and im thirsty anyway, so bring on the rain.- Jodee Messina

Very well said, Meg. Have you ever heard the song "Blessings" by Laura Story? Beautiful, beautiful song!
