Now, we just need to keep praying that our all-powerful Creator and Sustainer of all things,
will hold back the rain . . . just for a few hours on Saturday morning!
(We are really thankful for the rain, Lord! :-)
And actually, the rain might be quite appropriate when we look at it as part of God's abundant blessing of His people. . . .
"He waters the earth to make it fertile. The rivers of God will not run dry! He prepares the earth for his people and sends them rich harvests of grain. He waters the furrows with abundant rain. Showers soften the earth, melting the clods and causing seeds to sprout across the land. Then he crowns it all with green, lush pastures in the wilderness; hillsides blossom with joy."
Psalm 65:9-12 TLB
