The Rainy Day<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you ever been through a dry spell of no rain during a season?\u00a0 <\/span>We had one and it was refreshing to have a nice tumbling rain fall to replenish the foliage of trees, grass, shrubs, and flowers. Enjoy the rain!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pitter patter, pitter patter, the rain gently comes falling down<\/p>\n

With a constant tumble and silent breeze, it hits the ground.<\/p>\n

The grass is thanking the Lord above for dropping down the dew<\/p>\n

Because the showers that have come lately have been very few.<\/p>\n

Hitting the leaves of the trees, you hear the tip tap tip tap<\/p>\n

The trees love it as if with a tongue they go lip lap lip lap.<\/p>\n

The flowers rejoice in the refreshment as the water goes to its root<\/p>\n

They sprout up with glee showing off their colors and sounding a horn <\/span>as if with a toot<\/p>\n

The shrubs are no different as they soak up the long-awaited rain<\/p>\n

Glad that they can drink and be filled up once again.<\/p>\n

The birds also spring to their feet and fly to the ground<\/p>\n

For the grubs and worms are plentiful to be found.<\/p>\n

The animals enjoy the drink for their own hydration<\/p>\n

Filling the puddles, ponds, and lakes as part of God\u2019s creation.<\/p>\n

The farmers are glad to see the rain come for the crops they have planted<\/p>\n

To yield its fruit in harvest season, something not to be taken for granted.<\/p>\n

A wonderful cycle our Creator has wrought by His understanding<\/p>\n

Opening up the clouds in the skies and allowing the rain is\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>quite outstanding.<\/p>\n

So, the next time you have a rainy day, just reflect a moment to see<\/p>\n

There is much more than meets the eye to enjoy as part of God\u2019s beauty.<\/p>\n
