Today is Finish Friday and at my house it is currently raining. I realize perhaps rain will throw off the schedules some may have today. Perhaps the rain will deter an event from happening or change the plans for the day. However for me, the sound of the rain gently falling is comforting this morning. As some of you know, I have an affinity for anything to do with water.

This morning as you finish the work week, I encourage you to look closely at today’s picture. Look at how vibrant the colors are of this branch. Notice the drops of water on the tips of some of the leaves. Imagine how life-giving the rain was for this plant.

Now reflect on God’s presence in your life. How has God sprinkled life-giving rain on the “mown field” of your life this week? How has God’s showers watered your earth?

Take a moment to read all of Psalm 72. As you prepare for your day ahead may the rain that falls around you be a Godwink. May the puddles that form remind you of the blessings God will shower on you today and give thanks.

“Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭72:18-19‬ ‭NIV‬‬
