Rain

It’s raining…
I’m looking out my window,
watching the ground take in the water.
It accepts it,
knowing it will be renewed.
...and I am wondering if I am as gracious,
as trusting, as believing in what God gives me.
Do I readily accept what he pours into my life
or do I feel inundated and seek higher ground?
I’ve always loved the rain…it is cleansing and refreshing
and today I see it as a chance to embrace what God gives to me
whether or not I am prepared
makes no difference really.
I just have to accept it
and know that somehow
through it I too, will be renewed.
