Five Good Things About Chronic Rain...

Okay, I'm thinking!!!

Pond levels are up which means fewer fish will die in the drought of August???

Some farmers got fields planted before the heavens opened.  Some didn't.

I've watched these girls grow up for over a decade... I've been a regular part of their daily lives since long before kindergarten snared them away...

I love them. They are part of my past, my present and my heart.

So who cares if it rains for days when God sends us beautiful children like this to enjoy???

I might not be able to come up with five realistic good things about rain, rain, rain, but I'm totally thrilled with chronic kids.

And helping them grow up!
