Rain

I got to lie warm and snuggly in bed this morning and listen to the rain. What a nice way to wake up. Rainy mornings are extra dark, serene, cozy. The day starts out a little less hectic. I feel a little extra thankful for a warm and comfortable house. I am reminded of my own smallness in the world, the smallness of our entire race, in fact, that we can't produce rain for ourselves. Instead we rely on the nature God created. I imagine the plants and ground soaking up the water. The soft pattering on the window is hypnotic. Rainy days are my favorite.
