Raining Cats and Dogs
“It’s raining cats and dogs” has been heard a lot recently. Because of rain:
- Streets, roads, and parks closed.
- Parts of roads and bridges washed away.
- Basements flooded.
- Fields turned into ponds.
- People joked about the Bible’s story of Noah and their need to build an ark.
We have had rain and plenty of it!
People who enjoy the sound of rain when they sleep probably couldn’t keep their eyes open … unless thunder and lightning kept them awake.
Of course, grass, trees, and flowers look wonderful once the sun finally shines through those clouds. We also gaze in awe at a rainbow’s beauty.
Rain showers and rainbows remind us of God’s blessings.
God waits to shower us with joy, peace, hope, love, and more, if we turn to Him. Those showers continue, regardless of the weather outside.
“I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing” (Ezekiel 34:26, NIV)
