Giving Thanks . . . Summer Rain Edition

Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm.  He said:
Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain,
and a path for the thunderstorm . . . ?
Who has the wisdom to count the clouds?
Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens . . .?
Job 38:1, 25, 37, NLT










Continuing to count His gifts and grace . . .

1367  booming thunder
1368  raindrops rolling down the window panes
1369  rainsoaked earth
1370  relief from the heat
1371  firstborn home from her trip overseas
1372  the friends and friends of friends who prayed her through
1373  listening to my dad and her tell stories of their days and the people 
1374  that she came home saying she wants to go back again
1375  roast and potatoes with apple pie dessert for their homecoming
1376  my boy-child's sweet delight at having his sister home
1377  husband hanging a new net on the basketball goal
1378  cooking dinner with my sister
1379  homemade pizza and milk-free ice cream for my milk-allergic kid
1380  praying over a friend


Sing out your thanks to the LORD;
sing praises to our God with a harp.
He covers the heavens with clouds,
provides rain for the earth,
and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures.
Psalm 147:7-8, NLT
