....and they are still coming. It is amazing how quickly we can be moved from a drought, and then freeze mode, to a flood mode. That's where we are now. Predictions of up to a foot of rain have been made. We are quite wet in Rockport. I am battling a really unpleasant cold, my first in several years. Add to that, I must conduct a funeral service at 4:00 P.M. Friday.
While Haiti reels in death and destruction I am concerned about some rain, and a bad cold. That doesn't seem quite right. We have a roof and house and pantry and frig and a car and much, much more.
I like what Paul had to say about such matters: " I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it means to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every circumstance, whether well-fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." Phil. 4:11-13
That is not a lesson easily learned or even accepted. Some are blessed by never finding out how they would do in want or hunger. Most of us, perhaps. So, you Rockporters; get out your raincoat and umbrella. Find a free flowing gutter and leap and dance while "Singin' In The Rain"!
Too much? Go to Wal Mart.
