Raindrops

As there are raindrops out my window right now, I thought this was fitting story to share:


Rain Drops

Raindrops keep falling on my head (Copied)
as the grass and flowers are fed
this warm spring day
in the month of May.

Though the bees
are not pleased
when the rain storm
comes this morn.

Soon the trees will begin to drip
from their budding green leaf tips
as the spring rain comes down
soaking into the ground.

You'll find the budding leafs grew
from this rain shower that blew
across the sky
breezing by.

On the ground you might see
blossoms from the maple tree
that the rain disengaged,
thus starting a new phase...

as now the leafs will burst
providing an under-girth
as shade
is made.

High in the tree
a birdie
huddles on its nest
of eggs yet unhatched.

It waits for the shower
to be gone and over
as the tree's leaves still furled
don't yet offer shelter.

If the rain continues long
you might find puddles strung among
the newly plowed soil
where yesterday you toiled.

But the spring earth
rich with new birth
will soak in the rain
being for our gain.

The rain also popped up the flowers
as overnight they seem to tower
out of the earth
in a mound of dirt.

A welcome sight this day in May
to see the promise of spring displayed
as bulbs and perennials,
fruit trees, fields of grain, and vines – all...

are thankful for this shower of blessing
that came up over the hill cresting
then dropped
raindrops.

Showers of blessings
come after testings
when you start trusting
and in God resting.

Each morning when you're dressing
don't start the day stressing,
with doubts your mind messing,
often second guessing.

Start each day in faith resting
as in the Lord you're trusting.
You'll be experiencing
abundant showers of blessings.

I will bless them...
I will send down showers in season;
there will be showers of blessing.
The trees of the field will yield their fruit
and the ground will yield its crops;
the people will be secure in their land.
They will know that I am the Lord...
Ezekiel 34:26

It is a land the Lord your God cares for;
the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it
from the beginning of the year to its end.
So if you faithfully obey the commands
I am giving you today -
to love the Lord your God and to serve him
with all your heart and with all your soul -
then I will send rain on your land in its season,
both autumn and spring rains,
so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil.
I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle,
and you will eat and be satisfied.
Deuteronomy 11:12-15

Be glad..rejoice in the Lord your God,
for he has given you the autumn rains in righteousness.
He sends you abundant showers,
both autumn and spring rains, as before.
The threshing floors will be filled with grain;
the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
Joel 2:23-24

See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop
and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains.
James 5:7
