Sunday Community: Autumn Rains






Rejoice in the Lord your God,
for he has given you 
the autumn rains
because he is faithful. 
(Joel 2:23)







The rains came last week.
After a long hot Texas summer I felt
revived, refreshed, renewed
and thankful.

    Love this! We are enjoying autumn rains here in MD too, but it has not been nearly as hot. Praying that you have a refreshing week!

      Thank you Kym! When I opened the door Thursday morning on a cool rainy dawn, I wanted to weep from joy and relief. It's been very, very hot here in North Texas and I was so glad for the rain.

      Just came back from your place. It seems the rain has gotten to us both. Enjoy it and thanks for stopping by.

    Hello. I jumped over from Jumping Tandem. I love this verse, and this reminder of His faithfulness, especially this time of year when. Blessings. Dina (causerie.typepad.com)

      Welcome Dina,

      Yes, God is faithful. I know this well. When I saw this picture, I said to myself "That's me!" The blessing of rain both naturally and spiritually.

      Thank you for visiting. Come again soon.

    I am visiting from The Sunday Community. I clicked on your link because I am sitting here in the quiet of the morning listening to the "autumn rains" :) May I remember today that He gives us the rains to refresh us, to relieve the heat & because He is faithful!
    Have a blessed Sunday,
    Joanne

      Hi Joanne

      Listening to rain always lulls me to sleep no matter the time of day, but it is always a glorious, peaceful, refreshing nap. Thank you for taking time out of your quiet morning to come visit.

      God Bless and come again soon.

      'The right rain at the right time...' What an awesome statement. I think you just gave me an idea for a sermon. I'll be sure to give you credit! :)

      Thanks for stopping by!

    This post made me smile...I played in the rain yesterday when a grocery bag broke and everything fell in the parking lot :-)
    Wonderful verse!

    Usually rain is one of my happy moments in the summer. Keeps the heat from ruining my flowers and having to take hours to spread the water around the yard on our sprinklers. Rain can be so good. But flooding ain't too far away, etc Trusting the Lord, rain or not, is all we can ever do.

    Bless you. Thank you.

      I love summer rain but unfortunately we get too little of it in North Texas. Last weeks autumn rain brought the cooler temps with it and it's wonderful!

      Thanks for visiting. Come again soon.

    Amen! We lived in Fort Worth for 8 years and the year my 2nd son was born, there were an incredible number of 100 degree-plus days. I remember being outside at midnight and sweating because the nominal temperature was 98 degrees!

      Then you know from whence I speak about the heat. Unless you experience it, you have no idea how brutal those high temps can be. SO glad fall has finally come. It's currently 73 degrees at noon here in Dallas. I'm doin' the Snoopy happy dance!

      Thanks for coming by LuAnn.
