Love
the Rain
Each
time a gentle droplet of moisture falls on the skin
I
wonder why I'm prone to complain and grumble then.
I
know it's time for cleansing something in this world.
I
have loved the fresh aftermath since I was a little girl.
But
the rolling of the thunder before the lightening strikes
The
harsh abrasive hurting, of fierce winds coming nigh,
Remind
me, of the storms in the past I have had to fight.
Waking
me from slumber no rest throughout those times.
Today
I stop to ponder what purpose was God's intent.
To
make the storms so vicious when my world was quiet content.
I
understand, now, as I never did before
Those
storms were sometimes opening or closing of some doors.
To
the alarm of an approaching storm I often close my ears
So,
God must make the thunder to disturb my sleeping years.
When
I awake to thunder then the flash of light, I see
God
shows me in a flicker who, what, where and how I should be.
Sometimes
I would listen to the storm in another place
I
say the storm, passing over, was His saving grace.
But
maybe the one it falls upon was a warning to see.
And
that they could one day know how to rescue me.
I
have weathered storms of hail, blizzard, tornado, and drought.
Lung
cancer, spousal abuse and hunger I lived throughout.
I
was never alone and I have some scared traces
The
fiercer the rains of life the more protection God's places.
Now
when the clouds of life begin to gather
And
I know for sure, there will be foul weather;
I
welcome each lightening strike
God's
power I see in that flash of light.
The
gentle rains still cleanse me in a refreshing tender way.
I
welcome them with gladness day after day.
I
still sometimes need the scrubbing of the swirling gritty wind
My
soul needs a scouring and God must wake me from within.
I
love the rain and I don't pretend
To
understand all the storms or what they meant.
But
one thing I know for sure
God
is real and his cleansing pure.
