Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants. ~Deuteronomy 32:2
Raindrops gently fall
Subtly, softly, bathe the earth
God's voice quietly heard
Hallowed is the name
Of the One who sends sun, rain
To bless all on earth
Amen!
Much like we're experiencing now. Blessings, indeed! How wrong of me to ever complain about these gifts.
ReplyDeleteI remind myself of the same thing, Myra. Let us be grateful in all circumstances and realize the holy beauty therein.

Oh, Martha, that was so lovely. I love the sound of falling rain on the trees/leaves/rooftop. I wish I could hear that sound more often! We keep getting promises of rain, and then it skirts around us with nary a drop. We sure need it! Thank you for making me feel the rain in my thoughts. This was very calming.
ReplyDeleteAs I said to Terri, I'll be praying that y'all get the rain you need so badly, Pamela. And there is nothing like the soothing sound of falling rain to calm and inspire us in the knowledge that God is near.

Bom dia, Marta
ReplyDeleteLinda reflexão, Deus manda a chuva e o sol, as suas maravilhas não podemos enumerar, um forte abraço.
Hi, Lucinalva! My regular computer isn't working right now, and the laptop I'm using doesn't let me translate into English. I'll have my husband check it out. Just know that I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment. When Danny figures things out, I'll get back to you.
DeleteLove and blessings!
I'm pretty "rusty" Ms. Martha Jane, but best I can, your friend writes, "Nice reflection, God sends the rain and the sun, we cannot enumerate his marvels, a big hug."
DeleteThank you, Lucinalva, for translating your post - you did a fine job! In the meantime, my regular computer is back up and running, thanks to the new monitor we purchased. Thanks be to God!
DeleteBlessings!
Always enjoy your thought-invoking prose ma'am. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, J. D.!

Beautiful, Martha! I love the idea of listening for God's voice in the rain. During showers we can easily imagine his gentle, soothing voice reminding us of his refreshing Spirit and forever care. During a storm we can hear his powerful voice reminding us of his incomparable strength that he wields on our behalf. Thank you for inspiring such comforting images!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed the imagery here, Nancy. God does remind us of His power and presence in so many ways, doesn't He? I'm so grateful to belong to Him!

There are so many songs and poems featuring rain and rain drops! It's all because of the tremenduous importance of rain to Life.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Duta. We do celebrate those simple things that make our world what it is.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Ahh, so beautiful and soothing, Martha!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen!

ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I'm glad you liked the poem, Victor. Celebrate the rain!
DeleteLove and blessings!
This post is so like the rain it highlights--gentle, but nourishing and vital to the growth and maintenance of all that life is about. Thank you, my friend, for sending this quiet but profoundly important message to our hearts. I was late getting to it, but so glad I did. It's easy not to notice that the spiritual ground is getting a little dry. God bless you for the revitalizing shower.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad this poem refreshed you, Ron. And let us be ever mindful when the soil of our spiritual life becomes too dry.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Very nice picture, scripture and poem. God bless you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brenda!

Our rainy season has begun and thus far, the moisture is not falling gently but we are thankful, nonetheless, for the much-needed moisture and relief on our water bill!
ReplyDeleteI know you all have needed rain so badly, Barbara, so I'm thrilled that God has answered your prayers.
DeleteLove and blessings!
After the flood rain in the Scriptures seems to always be a blessing.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does, David, and I'll take it that way.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Beautiful, Martha, and Amen!
