The image of the sun shining down on a warm summer day is epitome of a beautiful day for many people; blue skies, gentle breezes, warm grass beneath your feet to cushion your steps. That indeed is a wonderful image…

Then there are days like today, covered with grey skies, rain pouring down, clouds enfolding us as we walk through them. I love these days. Have you ever noticed how green grass can be? Each blade reaches up with open arms to receive His cleansing rains. It’s not just a sight to see, but you can smell it all around you, the earth itself giving its fragrant offering to the One who created it. Each leaf, blade of grass, blossom and living thing turns to the skies to receive God’s grace, God’s provision, God’s love – the earth turns to worship Him, so simply, so naturally. This is a beautiful day.
