When it Rains from Heaven
When it rains I think of the rain coming down and I really think that its the way that God is saying He wants to cleanse the earth, and maybe he wants to cleanse the people too. I know that I need my heart cleansed every once in awhile, and my thots. The rain means that He is trying to tell us that we need to cleanse the hate and the bad thots out of our hearts and out of our heads. Now, I never thot this way untill He took all my family up to be with Him. And now when I go places and do things, I feel their presence with me. I cannot see them and I cannot feel them, but when I went to my great nieces graduation I knew that they were looking from their vantage point up above. In my imagination I saw my parents talking about their granddaughter saying that they took care of her while her mother worked from the time she was 6 weeks old to the time she went to school. They would be saying that she was very smart and loving as a child. I imagine my brother watching with this big grin on his face, with his arms folded. He would not be saying much, he was a man of few words. But his eyes would be filled with pride because she was his only granddaughter. We would all be very proud of her. I know that when it rains it makes me think about all the people that He has taken and we are very sad to not have them with us any more. But they are really there. They are there and we need them. And they will always be there for us, even tho we cant see them or touch them. We can just wait and do what there is to do down here untill we are reunited with our loved ones. When that day comes we will know that they were able to see and know everything that went on in the many years we were apart.
I’m feeling a little more sentimental than usual with Grandpa’s birthday coming up. This made me smile through the tears. Thank you for sharing!
