A Time for Thanks #20: Rain

I know you think I must have ran out of things to be thankful for if I am thankful for rain, but I am very thankful for God's sprinkler system. Before we moved to California I was not a fan of the cold wet days that plague Tennessee in the spring, especially since the whole FHU campus is a flood plain. Now that we live in one of the biggest agricultural counties in the nation I join with members of our congregation in prayer for rain. I have come to see the renewal that comes with the rain physically and spiritually. The change of the view in Fresno after the rain is enough to be thankful to God for the wet days. It is always a beautiful sight to wake up and see the smog replaced with stunning views of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Thank you Lord for your rain and renewal
