We have actually had several hours of consistent rain starting late last evening. I walked out into it at one point to take the dog out. It felt strange but distantly familiar.

This is the first time I remember several hours of rain here in, well, a very long time. Though we have had some relief recently, it has overall been a very hot and dry summer.

Getting rain after weeks of drought is more than refreshing. It is renewing. It is restoring.

It is a reminder to me to stay on the path I have been on recently of being more consistent with my prayer life and Bible study.
