Life-Giving Rain

Each year around this time in Florida we start noticing that we haven't had much rain. Some years there is more rain than in others. This year has been very dry. That is until late last week. Then we had about 3 days of rain. What a difference!

The grass greened up a little. The plants perked up a little. The brown leaves started to show some life. All because of some necessary, life-giving rain. Of course too much rain can cause issues, but in proper balance, rain is required for life.

And as much as rain is required to make seeds grow, flowers bloom, and grass turn green - and everything else that comes to life is the spring, we need rain as well.

In my podcast message today, "LIFE-GIVING RAIN" (click to listen or download), I talk about how important it is for us to take a step back occasionally and get a regular dose of relaxation, rest, sleep, and just general recharging of our batteries. That's our form of rain.

It might be reading or book, listening to music, watching a movie, spending time with the family, taking a walk in the woods, fishing, skiing, a day at the beach, or so many other activities where a little stress is removed from our lives and replaced by nourishing "rain."
