Just a rainy day... and thank-you to God

You know those days that are all rainy and gray, and you ask "Why is it raining! Now I have to stay inside and [event here] was canceled and..."

But then you step outside in a short-sleeve t-shirt and jeans.

You tilt your head up to the sky.

You can't help but feel a little happy.

You open your arms and spin around, you just have to.

You stop, look and listen. 

The trees are greener.

The dirt is darker.

The sky is a beautiful dark blue-gray.

Everything is richer in color. The world has changed.

And so have you. You are glad that it has rained.

It dosen't matter any more that you missed that event.

Nor that you are completely soaked.

Only rain can make you feel this way.

Thanks, God, for rain!
