Gratitude Day 23...

Grateful for the rain. Do you know how long water levels have been low in California? Everytime I hear someone complain about rain here I want to slap them...not really but you get the idea ;) It is raining. Praise the heavens, what a blessing, we have begged, pleaded, prayed for it. We should be overjoyed. I am thankful for the rain. Thankful that things can grow and be nourished because of the rain!

There is a great song that I love called Sometimes he lets it rain. You can listen to a clip of it on itunes...the link is below just click it. It is well worth the $.99!

Here are the lyrics:

She sees the storm clouds gather
The sky is turning cold and gray
She knows that somethings coming
when she starts to feel this way

She pleads for intervention
But heaven offers no relief
she would understand if she could only see

Sometimes He lets it rain
He lets the fierce winds blow
Sometimes it takes a storm
to lead a heart where it can grow

He can move mountains of grief
and oceans of pain.
But sometimes he lets it rain.

When her heart surrenders
to the master in control
Her spirit learns the lessons
and the tempest in her soul

when it's no longer raging
She can see how far she's come
through the wisdom and
the mercy of the son

Sometimes He lets it rain
He lets the fierce winds blow
Sometimes it takes a storm to
lead a heart where it can grow

he can move mountains of grief
and oceans of pain
but sometimes He lets it rain.

There is no joy without the pain

Sometimes He has to let it rain.
