Rulan's Heart For God

Life is good

I walked my child to school in the sunshine this morning. I had this thought pop into my head before we left the house..."take the umbrellas" so we did.

There was sunshine at our backs all the way up to the school. But you should have seen the sky ahead of us. It loomed blacker and blacker as we walked.

We got to the school just as the first couple of raindrops fell. We said goodbye and I turned for home. The raindrops fell a little quicker and the wind stirred in the trees.

I opened my umbrella as the rain began to fall. I had only walked a hundred yards from the school when the hail started.

I passed an elderly gentleman sheltering under a tree with his umbrella. We grinned at each other, chuckled about the hail then I continued toward home.

Hail danced around me, rain splattered the path and puddles grew. With all its might, the wind fought to kill my umbrella.

Wind, hail and rain saw this kiwi get wet. lol

Now the sun is shining again and the sky is blue.

Spring is wonderful; so unpredictable it's almost predictable. I love the spring.

Thank you, oh my Father. I worship at your feet. Blessed by your Holy Name.

Ahhhh...sounds nice.

Here...it still feels like summer. And we're heading into deep fall. So, it's weird to read about spring. :D

That's what I love about summer here in Florida - the storms come up very quick...and I love how dark the sky gets...and then it is over in a flash... I didn't know you had a child...I like learning that about you :)

What a very good post...I would like the storms to stay anywhere but here...we've had enough rain for one season!

Now comes the snow!

Hi, Rulan. I saw your comment on Scenes and Beans and clicked over to read your blog. (That photo of the hair was so beautiful, I just had to follow it!)

I was praying through the 60's Psalms this morning. Psalm 68:19 says: "Blessed be the Lord who daily bears our burdens, The God who is our salvation."

Amen!
