Day before yesterday I ran to the post office just before 5 O clock. It sprinkled and I though it was a shower, the windshield wipers were needed. Went 7 blocks to the post office and noticed the pavement was not wet or showing any signs of rain. Like the cartoon ‘Charlie Brown’ that is in the comic strip, last week, was rained on ... just him where he was, ... It came to me that God answered my prayer for just a few moments and rained on me. Wonderful, if brief.
We are desperate of rain. Our water is limited to 2 hours once a week for the outside trees, etc. We did have snow at Christmas. But no rain for over a year. and drought before that. Simply devastating to the wild life and all growing plant and tree life.
LORD forgive us and show mercy on thy land and people, in Jesus name, amen.
Happy Friday, Geo.
Like you, I thank God for the rain he gives us. I wish He had shared some of ours with you. Our rainfall is still below normal for the year.
BUT ... we’ve had WEATHER since Wednesday. The prediction is for more this afternoon. With the hail from Wednesday and yesterday, our agriculture losses are estimated to be in the millions. We have orchards with young tree fruit damaged and on the ground. I’m sure it will be finamcially devastating to California and our valley when the final estimates are in.
I pray for our farmers.
Father, thank you for bringing the much needed rain but please spare our farmers additional losses. In Jesus Name. Amen.
