   Before I read your email with the prompt this morning, I had a serendipitous moment, reflecting on the rain and spring and new growth… my post is here.

     “I wonder if it ‘hurts’ to have this new growth come so quickly.” … “You have turned us back to the Trellis of your ways.” Delightful images, Deb, and such truth in your reflection! Thank you for sharing the link.

   Lord of the weather
   I acknowledge the supremacy of Your power
   in the world around me
   Grateful I am
   for protection through the night
   here in my small corner of this planet
   It is often in times like these
   that I am reminded
   of Your Lordship
   Not that You
   drown us in frozen rain
   icing trees
   and downing power lines
   No…
   I don’t believe that is Your way
   But You are God
   And I am aware of my smallness
   A very wise posture for me

     Yes, frozen rain & ice can certainly put our lives into perspective!

   Despite the cool temperature and dreary sky, I thank you for the blessing of this day.

   This day that my soul awoke and was glad (no easy task these past weeks) because you are with me, helping me, in everything I do, every interaction. You are helping me see through the clouds and beyond them.

   Maybe I need a little rain to remind me you are Lord.

   Inside
   Looking outside
   As rain falls then sun shines
   Blessings refracted in prism
   of life.

     Rereading this slower today. “Blessings refracted in prism of life” is beautiful for the soul. Thanks, Hilary.
