The Rain Has A Purpose

I am sitting here in the dark and it is 10:30 am.  The only light is the glow of the computer screen. We are having a thunder storm that is dropping a lot of rain, and I mean heavy, hard, and steady rain.  It is beating my flowers.  I tried to take some pictures of it.  The weather forecast is showing rain for all day.

The rain is God's way of cleaning the earth and feeding the land.  Everything from the grass to flowers and garden are green and  growing well this summer.  We have had pop up showers on and off for the last month. 

My motivation to do something today has dwindled.  I am feeling lost without Laney.  She would have been curled up in my lap.  I have been missing her very much these days.   I am trying To focus on finding a new purpose in life.  My life as caregiver has been quiet and I have had more time to focus on myself.    I am almost afraid to say that as not to jinx myself.    It makes me happy that the men in my life are doing well and enjoying life. 

I would like to think in some small way that my writing has been part of a purpose in my life.  Perhaps it has made a difference in someone's life.  I can hear thunder perhaps God is saying yes to the writing. 

The rain continues and if it keeps up there will possibly be flooding in areas.  I guess I'll turn on the lights and embrace a day of rest.  

Life is beautiful even when the sun doesn't shine !
