Thankful Thursdays: Loving the Rain

Have you ever noticed how demands race from one end of the spectrum to the other?
Let's see, what do I want today?





The heat was getting a bit intolerable for many of us. Suddenly the spectrum exploded from all the complaints!



Clouds gathered and darkened with water as they frantically tried to respond to the Earth's need for water.


Rivers that usually had enough height to let fish pass through freely begged for a deluge to save the life they contained.


Long, dark clouds raced towards each other to create loud thunder, brilliant flashes of lightning, and heavy splotches of rain and hail.


The weather cooled down as wind scattered unbelievable amounts of water across the land. Flash floods, ferocious waves, and sheets of rain took the place of the merciless beating down of the sun.











Finally, Mother Nature is taking a break. It's nearly mid-July and the sunshine is returning.

It's a good day to remember how important it is to love both rain and sun as they balance our universe.

Has your summer weather returned to normal?

  1. Our weather has been all over the place. We had one of the worst winters ever down here, and the summer has been stifling.

  2. Our weather has finally started to level out. It's still not what I'd call normal, but it's better.

  3. We just moved to Florida a few months ago, so I'm not really sure what normal is down here. All I know for sure is that it's HOT!

  12. We definitely get our share of afternoon thunderstorms! I know we need the rain though, so many places are in drought

  13. We have been getting a huge amount of rain here lately. When it is not raining it is extremely hot. I am hoping for a little cooler weather soon.

  14. We have had an unusually rainy summer. It's good for drought but I'll confess I'd be fine with a stretch of summer temperatures now!
