Rain, Rain, Rain
The rain, rain, rain came down, down, down and all the vacationers had to ...simply sit inside and rest!
What is normally the busiest week in our lake resort community has been a wash so far. Once again we face a wet soggy day today. Nary a tuber or skier took to the cove yesterday. Our houseguest has kept her eye glued to the weather channel app on her phone watching for the green/yellow glob to move away from our area, so we can make a dash to the dock. My husband graciously made a grocery run yesterday and found the aisles packed...probably every grandparent was escaping the chaos of their home and looking for refuge at Kroger!
There will be battle stories told the remainder of the summer related to how people survived this wet week. Knowing how God works, it's easy to see how this weather pattern has forced families inside together to strengthen relationships and communicate, slow the rapid pace which can consume a day of lake activities, save on boat gas money (which probably has been spent buying more groceries from the getaway spot or toys at the Dollar Store) and maybe brought more parents/grandparents to a position of prayer! :-)
We will see if I have this peaceful outlook come the weekend, when we have allowed a group of 20-30 year olds to use the property for a camp out and they end up camping in! LOL
The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace. Psalm 29:11
