Rain


                               
                                                Celebration reigns 

                                          In the dry and thirsty land

                                        As Heaven pours her waters 

                                     At God's thunderous command

Great poem, it really catches the moment. As I'm reading this poem I can picture the storm in my mind.

Blessings to you as well Anaya. Yes, nature is rebounding, and it is wonderful to see. I can hardly keep up with the weeds, but my flowers are growing for the first time in a few years, and it is wonderful!

We were under a drought here, BJ, and God did the same for us here. It has been nice to have rain that was needed so much but of course, in some places flooding and some trees down and even tornadoes touched down. Sara K.

Yes, the drought has been drying up our reservoirs and lakes, very scary. This is the first year I have planted a garden as the happy news that El Nino would bring rain. It is scary when there is too much though. The flooding is a heartbreaking catastrophe. I hope that you are blessed with a joyful amount, in perfect proportions, and for others as well. I did hear there was a tornado in AZ yesterday I believe, that is not a common occurrence in the region, the weather is so unpredictable.

I am doing so much better! Little Sister Sunshine had surgery, she is doing great and is now showing zero cancer! I read your soupmail and replied to you awhile back before her surgery. I pray she will be healthy and filled with joy. We are tentatively planning a resort getaway, hoping it will be soon, after she heals all up. Thank you for reaching out to me <3 I told her of the sweet comments on here, and it has lifted her heart to know that people from all over care about her :)

Summer is just beginning, and I dread the rising temperatures. Great imagery, my friend.

Oh, it is hot where I live, but we have been enjoying the monsoons. I always want to move to cooler climates in the summertime, but the monsoons are wonderful and a blessed relief!

I am ok where I am in Utah. The data centers going up here and in many other places is really bothering me. People have no idea their purpose but it's NO good. AI is ruling our world and I am so sad about it

I'm glad you're ok where you are, I haven't been following the news of the Utah fire crisis of late, there are a lot of them raging in other parts of the world too. I think what you shared is true, we have no idea what all of this ai stuff and data gathering is about, but I think we probably have a lot of hints to why as the world heads into the future. Daniel and the book of Revelation cast a dismal eye on the last days, scary, May God reign and heal the world soon, and that is the hope we share for the end of the story!

Everything happens at God's command. So true. Here, it is our monsoon and we are having plenty of rains. Hope it won't lead to flood. Beautifully written, dear B.J

I love the monsoon season, and was thrilled for that rain. I did become a bit worried as my porch began to actually grow a bit deep. My son and husband made some changes in the back yard, amazing how the rain was coming down so hard. Others in town didn't have a drop of rain. Maybe God liked my poem :) I actually prayed, Ok, thats enough please, for now? I was blessed though, I didn't need to water the garden :)
