The other day the Houston Chronicle
saw fit to repeat the old ditty:
“Rain, rain, go away,
Come again some other day”
That children
used to sing when a picnic, or some other cherished, and planned for, event,
was threatened, by rain. Or a farmer who had a field of hay drying would pray
for one more sunny day till he could safely put his hay, now dried fir storage, into his barn
for winter feed.
One of the earth dams in the area was
threatened, till workers dumped more rip-rap at the base of the dam and covered
it so no more rain will soak into it from the sky. Engineers are keeping a
24-hour watch on it. But Rain keeps on falling, and the paper announces another
week of rain.
No, it will not cover the earth
because God has so promised. But surely it is needed for life. Lots of it at once, let us
learn to be grateful. For like all gifts of God, it brings blessing.
