Let it Rain

This morning when I got up, it was raining, and it made me reflect on the results that rain can bring in our lives. We have had a pretty dry winter here (except for this month), and it's amazing how green things become in such a short time, with just a little rain or snow.

I took my new puppy out for a walk in the rain. She wasn't too sure about that at first, but she soon got used to it and was exploring everything along the way.

Maybe you are feeling a bit dry spiritually, physically or mentally. Maybe things in your life aren't going the way you had planned. Why don't you take some time to soak in the rain of God's many blessings in your life.

Here are a few ideas that won't cost you a dime, but will refresh you:

*Read the Bible
*Take a walk and enjoy God's creation along the way
*Take a much needed nap (turn off the phone)
*Take a hot bath
*Read a book
*Watch a good movie
*Pray

Rain brings new growth, and it cleans and refreshes. We all need to be restored from time to time, and in fact I have learned that the more often I take time to be refreshed, the more energy I have to give to others.

What did YOU do today to nourish your soul? I'd love to hear about it!
